Hi to all,
I guess i'm just downright naive sometimes and out of touch, but a good friend of mine has recently returned from his first holiday visiting some parts of America and Canada. Granted, he only went to places like New York, San Francisco and Vancouver, but when i was going through the hundreds of photos he took, i noticed that pretty much most the cars on the streets seem to be Asian. Would that be a correct assumption?
I have never been to America or Canada, but as i'm approaching 60 years of age,the American tv shows, films and magazines that i grew up on here in Australia from the 50's through to the 80's had lots of beautiful American cars on the streets from those eras. My God!, have they all disappeared off the streets in your countries, no more to be seen?
I guess time has certainly rocketed by, and the classic 50's to '80s made cars logically would fade away from use these days. So in reality, how many of these old cars are still on the roads over there percentage wise?
The same story is true here in Australia, as most of our daily driver cars are Asian made as well. Our Aussie made classics are hard to find these days as well out on the streets.
Oh dear, where have the years gone, and boy, things certainly change don't they!
