What features do we miss in old cars? (humor)

[Deep13]

Sure, new cars are safer and last longer than old models, but those old cars had a certain je ne sais quoi. What aspects of old cars do we miss the most?

1. wing windows

for real....

[Deep13]

2. You mean those triangular vents?

Had them on my Dodge Dart. They were cool. The intermittent braking was less cool.

10. yup.

3. Tell me about it! I loved those things. Open windows and you

could keep the rain out of the car

4. The "rumble seat", aka the "mother-in-law seat".

:evilgrin:

5. Running boards

How can I get any respect as a mobster without having a couple of submachinegun-toting goons on the running boards?

6. suicide doors rock

[Felix Mala]

7. I miss clear plastic wrapping on interior fabric...

Those could be murder on a freezing winter morning, plus you slid all around because cars didn't have seatbelts.

9. My grandmother had that in her 1970 Chevelle.

8. Turning signals

Since nobody uses them, maybe new cars don't come equipped with them anymore? :eyes:

11. dashboard hibatchis?
