Just from my observations I've drawn @ssumptions..... anyone can correct me if wrong.... but there seems to be a younger age set getting into vintage cars. Seems to be a niche thing with certain (sedan and convertible) favorite cars to mod. Some have thought out suspension mods to accommodate the (to me) cartoonish rims. Some have decent engine bays with tidy normalish hot rod engines. Some have crazy graphics. Some have weird cartoon (again) pastel colors. Some of these cars are well done craftsmanship.

I admit I don't understand them. My parents didn't understand Led Zeppelin. I might as well be a 21st century dude blasted into the next century trying to figure it out. But what is cool is that maybe vintage cars have a new resurgence. Maybe some crossing social and cultural (and age) boundaries is happening. Would I own one? Heck no. But I would dig going to a Donk show and seeing another aspect of hot rods I never thought I would. I think we should accept them as our weird young brothers

I'm pretty much of the same philosophy. Their car, their style. There was a gold '69 GTO convert local to me a few years ago. Solid looking car. I saw it several times without a chance to talk to the guy. About a month later, I saw it again and it was donked out. I didn't like it a bit but at least it was on the road and HE liked it. I was no longer interested in talking though..lol!
