[DeTomaso] [SPAM]Re: NPC-New Dodge Challenger

[Christopher Kimball]

Just remember, age demographics make a big difference.  For a while, a fixed up model T was the thing to have, then everyone who had fond memories of them started dying of old age!  Even the revered '57 Chevy is losing popularity with younger folks.  In Popular Hot Rodding, they're even starting to spend money fixing up and resto-modding  cars from the (gasp!) 1980s!  I never thought I'd see the day...

I predict it won't be long until those of us who were drooling over 1970 Corvettes, 1969 Plymouth GTXs, 1971 Camaros and the like will be more worried about the wheels on our walkers than the wheels of our dream cars!
