where have all the OLD cars gone to?

corktina

went to the Charleville Club do on Sunday, I thought it very noticeable how few 60's and before cars were evident...loads of 70's 80's and even 90's though

Is thios a trend and where are the oldies ? all stored away or just not wanted?

Was there ever that many around? I would have thought a car in 1950's ireland would have been a rare thing.

I can't imagine too many people importing them, as most I can only assume are expensive and/or utter dogs to drive!

Something from the 70's on the other hand can be cheap, quick and drives within reason like a modern car.

I reckon for every old car on the road theres at least two in the a shed somewhere..But 60s stuff is scarce alright.
