Let's be real here, how many similar vintage of any brand do you see regularly on the street? Certainly not as a daily driver. Other than Mustangs, it's rare to see ANY Ford from that era, even at shows. Yeah you see quite a few old Chevys, but they sold a lot more of them too.
I probably see more Darts than any other A on the road, but that's not saying much...not many owners are going to subject an antique auto to the abuses of everyday use. I drive mine, but it's strictly a fair weather ride. Maybe it's different where you live.
I'll agree that the early A's were more something your parents or grandparents would drive, but the 67-72s especially were sharp looking cars IMHO. I was 21 when I bought my first and only new car...a '71 Duster and I was pretty damn proud of it.
I gather you're quite a bit younger than I am, but hand-me-down cars that high school kids get for their first car are what they are. I'd be hard pressed to name any cool cars from the mid 70s/early 80s, period.
