That was my era of choice too! The cars after 1970 were a lot less interesting. Muscle cars lost thier muscle.....dragsters had the motor in the wrong place.....Funny Cars were "generic" under the skin....and Gassers and Altereds were no longer headliners. :-( Also, in the '80s street rods started to look like antiques....customs lost popularity......and the "billet" thing took off. Maybe I can build a time machine? ....with mags! :-)

I quit buying them when they stared employing jerks who were trying to tell everyone how it was in the '50's and '60's but they were born in the '80's and '90's and couldn't find their a** with both hands and a road map.Ken Thomas

For years I was a magazine junkie, bought probably 5 or 6 a month and rummaged through the $ .25 to $ 1.00 boxes at swap meets to find ones I somehow missed. But I am like Jay, the internet now takes my interest and I rarely if ever buy a magazine.

How did you get hooked on cars?
