I really like resto-mod classic cars.
You get the style and beauty of yesterday's cars.
But with the reliability and performance of todays modern fuel injected engines and transmissions, the stopping power and safety of disc brakes, and air conditioning that actually cools the passengers. Plus many resto-mods have comfort accessories like power windows and power door locks, and tilt steering wheel. ...
American autos from say 1955 until the late 1970s, you made some exceptionally beautiful and interesting autos, I mean many were literal works of art on four wheels. Since the 1980s like I think with all other autos from around the world things have gone downhill on appearance, with so many autos either looking very much the same or just looking generic.
From America an example would be the Lincoln Continental Mk III, this is the 1970 version:
It's the back of the auto, it's interesting and adds a nice touch:
Beginning in the 1980s the Lincoln Continental started to look less attractive, the below are both from 1984:
And things got worse until we get to the 2019 Lincoln Continental which just looks plain and generic:
^^^^ It actually looks like a slight variation of the 2019 Bentley Continental GT:
