Car shows- Something does not make sense

No I got your point, it's just that the car culture isn't the same, and what was brand new and cool in the 70 is now old and cool

But what is brand new now, is usually not even cool


You mentioned custom paint jobs
Do people even still do those?

Seems like everything custom colored now is a wrap
Like they just ate a ton of bazooka Joe

yeah it sucks now-a-days, but I'm thinking back then, the 70s cars were frowned on by the "old" guys too.

I do see custom paint, quite often. There's a local place (next county over) that builds wide bodies from B-bodies. Amazing work and great paint. Expensive as hell. I think the wrap thing is neat. I wouldn't wrap my E-body vert, but I see the appeal of being able to change it up more often.

I'm even warming up to what my kids like. I don't want a Subaru STI S209 (only 209 built), but damn that thing set me back in the seat. Do i want one? Nope, give me old iron every day. I respect the engineering though.
