Some amateur classic car pics

[Lucky Strike]

Walked around a classic car meeting with my dad earlier this summer, and took some photos of smaller details on the cars. They really don't make the details on cars as elegant now.

The reasons why post-1980 cars are inferior.

All these pics are very nice, thanks for sharing. The Volvo manufacture badge is especially stylish. It is sad you don't see things like this anymore.

How I wish my first car (an early 90's Volvo) had looked like that Jensen Volvo P1800. If I had my first choice now though I'd have an Aston Martin DB5 or Austin Healey MKIII 3000 in my garage.

Fortunately for you, it's not a very expensive old car.

Unfortunately, Jensen rusts like damp sheet metal.

I just came back from the Pebble Beach Concours and there were a few choice cars there.

That Mercedes is beautiful. In fact, at the Concours, I noted it was often the Mercedes cars that were the most balanced in terms of design.
