It may be just me, but I am irked by the word "vintage" being used to describe cheap-ass butt-ugly seventies shit. Yes, the term technically does apply, but *sheeeeeeesh

Agreed. The Video Room at the top of Piedmont Ave. had the policy of putting any movie over 20 years old in their "Classics" section. WHAT? I seriously found The Blue Lagoon in there. Aiyiyi.
Aye....tis amaze'n t'me wot some folks calls "antique".
I dont think of a 1960's and 1970's era cars as an antique or vintage, mainly because I'm a product of those eras...now my 1921 Model T Touring that's another matter. And what up with all these TV show about how great it was in the 60's and 70's...it really wasn't all that great as I remember. Like many other young men of that time I spent a large amount of time keeping my grades up to dodge the draft, and I've got news for you, those kianna shirts and double knit pants weren't all that fab'o either, they clung to places on a body that you'd rather not have something clinging and were hot and melted real easy too. Hell a cigarette ash was enough to burn a hole right through them. Do you remember Earth Shoes?...uncomfortable, that's what I remember the most about them. The only good thing about those supposedly "good old days" (the 60's and early 70's) was the price of gas, was still 35 cents a gallon for premium.
