You obviously like old Soviet style cars, DerFuher Adolf Ze Nincompoop Hitler Sanders but hate cool looking vintage American and Canadian cars and trucks. You also have no idea what the vintage car hobby does to restore older vehicles and keep them running. You also don't know what California required owners of older cars were required to do when buying an older used pre 1971 model car or truck or registering a non California model 1962 and earlier car back in 1967. And owners of 1946-60 cars registered in California renewing their registration for 1967 and later were required to retrofit their engines with smog control devices, have them inspected with the California Highway patrol to prove they were smog compliant with the new smog control regulations before they renewed their registration for 1967. Those who bought a new 1961 and later car sold new in California had factory installed smog control devices, which made them exempt from inspection. If you bought a used car from a new car dealer between 1961 and 1966, the car dealer was responsible for fitting the car with a PCV valve to control smog emissions before selling the car. Anyone who moved to California with a non California 1961 or 1962 vehicle had to retrofit the vehicle with a State Approved PCV valve retrofit kit. They were not allowed by law to have a car dealer retrofit the engine with a factory designed emissions control PCV valve setup that came as OEM equipment on California model vehicles. Old car hobbyists often restore or make older cars better than when they were new.
If they restore the original engines, the replacement parts are usually stronger than the original parts. Engines on 1971 and later vehicles are designed to use either leased or unleaded gasoline. Older engines overhauled with new valves in the late 1980s and later have hardened valves and seats designed to use either unleaded or leaded gas.
Some vehicles restored with new crate engines have modern emissions setups and computer controls that come with the crate engine and transmissions.
Older pickup trucks have much roomier cargo beds than any new 6 figure priced pickups with super stubby cargo beds. And there are some older trucks that are crew cabs with long cargo beds.
Some older vehicles restored with their original engine and transmission have upgraded electronic ignitions which burn fuel more efficiently than original equipment ignitions, burning the fuel cleaner while producing more power and fewer emissions. Some of those electronic ignition conversions are certified to produce fewer NOx Emissions than an original factory ignition setup.
I picked up every one of these photos off the Internet over the years and saved them.
The 1963 Rambler American 440 Convertible under the American Motors logo is a toy replica of the car used on the sitcom Third Rock From The Sun. A Southern California Rambler enthusiast got hired to restore a 1963 Rambler American 440 Convertible to be used in the comedy Third Rock From The Sun.
The Mercury pickups are pickup trucks sold in Canada at Mercury/Meteor/Lincoln dealers in parts of Canada that did not have a franchised Ford dealer in the region. Communities in Canada that had a local Ford dealer didn't have a Mercury/Meteor/Lincoln dealer in that region. The communities that had the Mercury/Meteor/ Lincoln franchises didn't have a Ford Franchise and sold Mercury pickups, vans and Meteor Rancheros to those who needed a truck. Mercury trucks were only sold in Canada from 1946-68.
The station wagons pictured below the Mercury pickups are 1957 Studebaker and 1957 thinly disguised Packard wagons built with a Studebaker body, badge engineered as a Packard. The green wagon is a Studebaker while the white and gold wagon is a Studebaker thinly disguised as a Packard station wagon. Those cars thinly disguised as a Packard were nicknamed Packardbakers. The "Packardbaker" got discontinued in May 1958. Studebaker went out of business in 1966 in the USA. By 1966, they were using Chevrolet engines in their 1966 model cars.
The bottom picture is a first generation Ford Falcon being restored by a hobbyist over 10 years ago. The Falcon came out in 1960.
You like gas guzzling vehicles that are bad for the environment? Figures.
