How was it in the 60s-80s?

Most everyone knows I drive my old Plymouth allot and take it 2 ta 300 miles from home with back up parts in the trunk, heck I feel like the worst that could happen is a flat or like said before a person on the dang phone
If anything does go south I can most likely fix it my self, now a newer model I would have to have it towed and pay to figure out what is wrong and have it fixed by a stranger...
These older cars are build for bad roads and are spoilt to good smooth pavement we
have now (but we do have our share of bad roads in Arkansas) Bad gas!! heck change the gas filter with a screw driver, can't do that with most newer cars.
These cars was built for cross country long trips I believe.
Keeping the leaves off in the fall has been the only problem if you keep it parked to long :D
