Joe, I dont use the Brylcream either, not because I wouldnt or didnt, just got no hair left on top to use it on! I remember in the sixties in school when I wore a white T-shirt with a pack of Marlboro rolled up in one sleeve, leather jacket, black stovepipe pants, and oh boy, the black pointed toe shoes! What a Panic! One of these days I will get enough nerve to post a photo of that! I seem to remember the catagory I fell into was the "Greasers". "Little Deuce Coupe....You Dont Know What I Got............Well I'm Not Braggin Babe So Dont Put Me Down....But I Got The Fastest Set Of Wheels In Town........" You guys ever wonder whats going to happen when all us middle age second childhood guys pass on to the great dragstrip in the sky? Are these cars we love so much still going to have a following? Are the younger generation going to be collecting Fast and Furious type cars? Are the muscle cars going to die with the babyboomers? In a way I think we tend to collect and cherish these cars as a way of holding on to part of our youth and good memories of days gone by. If you took a poll amoung high school guys right now, how many would know what a Yenko or rock crusher is? I shudder at the thought of passing on my collection to my two teenage sons for what they would do with them, when most likely they would sell out to the first person with a fist full of money to buy concert tickets and a nitrous oxide Nissan. I realize there are some of the younger generation here on this board who love these cars as the older guys, but I would like to hear from you guys, what percentage of the younger generation really know about the American muscle car and all the history and technical that goes with it?
Thanks,
