Thirty years ago, the old car hobby was different than it is today. Just how different? Take a gander at Michael M. Self’s article from SIA #50, April 1979, in which he argues for plucking less-desireable cars from junkyards in order to refurbish them and put them back on the road. Of course, these less-desireable cars are firmly considered collector cars nowadays. On the other hand, the more things change, the more things stay the same – his introductory paragraphs sound like a more innocent appeal against the travesty of cash for clunkers that we’re facing today.
