    This car is incredible... If only I had the money to buy something like this!

    Thinking about that time period in general is depressing to me. All cars of that era were true works of art. They were built to draw crowds, and to give something to be proud of. Nowadays, cars are just an every day tool that we "need" rather than really enjoy and use. People used to take great pride in their cars and kept them in pristine condition. My dad still does, but he is one of the very few that I know of. He keeps his cars vacuumed out, waxed, dusted, and in full working order.

    It's just sad to me where the automotive industry has gone....

    they had plexi back then?
    and they were able to form it without clouding it and breaking it?
