As tour time approaches, I think about the different kinds of cars we’ll see on upcoming tours. It’s hard to believe in a little over half a year we’ll be including cars of the new century. When I was old enough to drive, my dad gave me a 1929 Model A Ford. The car was not quite 40 years old, but it was considered an antique and looked like one compared to the mid-1960s cars of the time. I own a 1965 Ford Mustang that is 60 years old. Somehow that doesn’t seem nearly as outdated as a Model A did at 40 years old. Now that the turn-of-the-century cars are 25 years of age, do they really seem like antiques? I don’t think so, but younger people than I might. Let’s just make sure we welcome these young adults to our club.
