Hello it's me again
Hello it me again, you local car crazy nut, and I think it's
time to talk about American classic cars again, but then I
always think it's time to talk about old cars and the
preservation of the American classic car.
While everybody thinks that they need a brand new car, and
there's a lot to be said for new cars to, just to put things in
to context a bit more, how many of these new cars will be around
in say 30 or 40 years, they just aren't designed to last like
that any more.
I'm a huge lover of classic American cars, and therefore I try
to get other people to take a look at the viability of these old
cars, and to appreciate them a bit more, if I help even one
person understand them just a little bit more, I have done my
job.
My love for these cars knows no bounds, I love them all, and I
hope that I can help a few other people do the same thing also,
I don't really do this for a job, as I make no money for doing
it, it's a labor of love, love for the way things used to be
with the car world.
When cars were about a friendship with your car, and about going
out with your friends on the weekend and just having some fun,
now cars have become a big business, but don't let that ruin the
fun of them for you.
People used to really enjoy the old cars, and the whole hot
rodding thing started with a few people making things in their
own garage to modify the body or engine on their cars, the whole
idea was to have something on your car that the other cars
didn't have, something to make it faster, or to make it look
better.
This has become the aftermarket business, a huge business, you
don't have to sit in your garage anymore and create things for
your car, it's as simple as going to the web, or opening a
catalog and purchasing a new performance or body mod item for
your car.
While I love the aftermarket for all it has done, it has taken
some of the fun of building a car away from the hot rodder, but
you can still put a custom paint job and do some costom interior
work, and create something completely different from the next
guy, where do you think the aftermarket is getting a lot of it's
ideas from.
Vic Edelbrock's Company started in his garage back in the late
40's and early 50's, and now it's one of the biggest aftermarket
performance parts companies out there, and Vic was one of the
original hot rodders.
A car doesn't have to be brabd new to impress people, and for
you to have some fun with it, it just take a bit of work, and
some original thinking about it.
I hear all the time about the cost of building these old cars,
but that's nothing when you consider the cost of buying a new
car is in the $20,000 to $30,000 dollar range or more, and you
can't have as much fun with a new car.
