Old car - the best in retro style

Modern technologies in the automotive industry have gained a lot of admirers. Someone talks about the super complicated multi-link suspension, someone thinks about which horse herd is placed under the hood of this or that machine, but few can actually demonstrate the advantages of modern technology. And any old machine, devoid of all technological excesses, and in our time will prove its perfection. Rare cars attract their classic grace, but frighten off young motorists by the lack of modern systems. Drivers of the 21st century do not think of driving in a car without ABC, airbags, parking sensors, navigators and other "assistants." Now it is difficult to imagine that the machines that won the largest car competition in the 60s were equipped with a simple rear suspension created by Count De Dion for steam cars in the nineteenth century.

Many drivers believe that the bulky rim of the steering wheel of a modern car is much more reliable in the hands. However, sitting in the old Jaguar or Ferrari, you feel how the fingers are conveniently placed on the spokes of a thin rim. If necessary, it is easier to intercept on such a steering wheel. He clasps his hands securely. And, most importantly, the slim steering wheel does not block the instruments.

According to our contemporaries, old sports cars can not boast of the sensitivity of the box. It seems to them uninformative, difficult and uncomfortable. But this is only the first impression. The experience of treatment comes fairly quickly. And the result is amazing, believe me! Immediately you feel the moment of switching on the speed. For an experienced driver this is an inexpressible experience!

And how goes the old car! The dynamics of the car is felt right away, from the moment the traffic starts. An inexpressible sense of speed, from which intercepts the breath ... By the way, about speed. It is much easier to follow the movement of the arrow on the speedometer than behind the flicker of numbers. There was even a distinctive feature among different cars - a white scale of instruments on the car with a touch of "sporty chic" and black with yellow numbers - a traditional sign of sports cars of the 60s.

Separately I want to mention the old American cars. Already classic "American", like a brandy cognac, the older, the better, more prestigious and expensive. Chevrole Chevelle SS, Dodge Charger, Cadillac and Corvette - these names with reverence even the modern youth utter . As often you can see nostalgia for the long chic limousines, which more recently called "road dreadnoughts."

Compared with European cars of the sixties, America's old car was more like a yacht. The long hood and the rather high-lifted trunk were a peculiar sign of belonging to a particular breed. Despite the fact that all the controls in the car were located in the most ridiculous way, the salon, nevertheless, amazed with its capacity. The rear seat can only be called a sofa. The decline of the popularity of American cars predetermined the fuel crisis. Cumbersome, and most importantly, gluttonous, cars have gradually been replaced by more economical "Japanese". The remaining cars were saved thanks to enthusiasts.

Each old car is kept so that in our time at least at the exhibition it is possible to raise the hood and look into the voluminous "interior" with a small motor, hold a hand over the bulging patent leather and hear the creaky four-track recorder with the eternally young album Machine Head.
