Why? Why does it have to be like that? If someone has blood, sweat, and tears into building their ride and they are loving it and wanting to talk about it, seems only right that everyone should listen until it's time to talk about theirs...and im not talking about the ones bought with huge personal check....we already know that story. I'll sit and listen to someone talking about their Mercury Zephyr for an hour because i already know finding parts is nearly impossible and its not exactly everybody's idea of cool, but it lived to drive another mile thanks to whomever chose that car. I guess every new generation of car experiences snubbing because its not as good as the early cars to some, but to me, they are all awesome and worth talking about. Maybe we could get a bunch of t shirts made like "J Cars Matter" I'll just bet that you will get into some kind of conversation...HA!I go to a number of shows every year but rarely put the Mirada in, just 3 times in 21 years, twice this summer to a couple cruise nights. But that is not why I have the car, I enjoy long drives in it, pull the T-Tops and go.
A couple years ago at a show I ran across a fellow with a '55 Dodge sedan that had a 318 and M body front suspension, struck up a conversation with him where as I also have a '55 Chrysler Windsor and wanted to see how he did the front end swap. During the conversation he mentioned he also had a '79 300, I said 'cool, I have an '80 Mirada with the same 360 4bbl' , his response was "that would be a perfect donor car for the '55 Chrysler. " At which point I just walked away, low tolerance for stupid people.
