Cool old cars that should be classics but are not well known.

The other thread reminded me of some cool older cars that aren't well known or popular.
Post your examples.
'71-'73 Buick Riviera

Long as a city bus and not in a good way

Most car people are familiar with the Rivieras.
The only Buick that is a true classic is the early 30's Model 90, the biggest car they made in the 30's (here's ours):
The 50s and 60's Chrysler 300's are relatively unknown - when I drive my 69 300, drivers of the modern 300's will come up beside me and ask "Why does you car say 300?" (they have no clue the 300 is not a recently originated model).
69 300

Im curious what happens to the classic car market once the current generation of say 50+ year olds pass away. Im a car lover but I dont really ever see myself buying anything from 1980 or earlier, I guess we all just want the cars we grew up dreaming about and Im curious if these valuations will hold up long term, I really cant see it happening bc these american cars they were not produced in low volumes like ferraris and I just cant see the demand being there for them in the future

Is it just me, or were there a lot of enormous cars with two doors and small interior cabins in the 70s?

You are already seeing some market shifts as car collectors age. Pre WWII cars, with some exceptions, aren't hot stuff any more. The post WWII cars will always have some propping up because the late 70s and 80s cars are generally shitty.

I just looked in 1968 ford made 4400 GT mustangs, thats mass produced if you look at modern cars. I mean ferrari makes those numbers for a 458 and that will never be a classic so the values of those cars being paid today are a tad ridiculous imo because you're not really buying anything rare.

Never know what you may run across. I've heard it said that every several years, people change their preferences in food (except for some mainstays), I think it can also be the same with cars.
From the 80s I'd still take these that were common and easily affordable today.
1985-87 Nissan 300zx
And 1980 corvette

Can't believe we made it 8 posts without someone adding the Pontiac Aztec

The old Austin-Healey's always seemed like pretty cool little cars.
Posted on 10/15/16 at 2:07 pm to chinhoyang
Those are some very nice cars y'all have. 
Pre-WWII cars just don't excite me though.

SE AZ has to have the highest concentration of Aztek's on earth. It's super weird. I see at least 3 or 4 daily.

Yeah, but they've always been pretty popular.

Yeah, in the car world. I bet most people don't know what that is, though.

The muscle cars will always have a demand as long as men have testosterone.
