Well I don't know if I'd say that. The TR's can be driven on the
highway,
unlike Model T's and A's( o.k. the can but around here if your not doing
70+ you'll be run over by an excursion). So the TR's are still
driveable.
I'm 26 and own both a 71 240Z and a 69 TR6. I believe these cars(60-75)
will remain popular until hydrogen replaces petroleum. I don't know of
to many ppl my age that are really intersted in the "rice" rockets or
the
5.0 stangs. Neither look very good and as far as power and performance
its
simply to expensive to modify. The "rice" rockets are front whell drive
and
stangs are to damn fat. The simple fact is is that 95% of all new
restaurants fail.
