I see a lot more twenty, thirty, forty and fifty year old American
cars than any other vehicles of that age though.

All this means is that some people are spending time and
money to maintain those older cars. At least spare and
junkyard parts are readily available for many of them. Good
for them, because they certainly will need those parts.


Maintaining and restoring old cars can be a rewarding hobby, just like
(tube) audio is.

Most antique cars are relatively new compared to most tube audio technology.
In my statea 20-year old car is legally an antique and can be registered as
such and have reduced registration fees.

Few people who have a nicely -restored antique car use for their year-round
daily driver. Why recommend that sort of self-inflicted pain to people so
they try that folly with their primary audio system?
