Lol, flu, have you ever considered that there are more ’50’s models still on the road and in circulation than you expected?? Check the Auto Trader! And they’re generally built so well that you don’t have all the problems that you mentioned with the later models. Heck, I remember standing up on the “hump” of one on the back floorboard and my head didn’t even touch the headliner!
The ’50’s models were mostly built a little more simply, without electronic ignitions and “Tom-Tom” maps. And MUCH easier to work on. Even their body’s sturdier and their paint job and moulding of generally higher quality. Whitewall tires and plush dice hanging from the rearview mirror are extra. They definitely survive wrecks better.
Guess they don’t make cars, uh, wives, like they used to, flu . . . lol.
