as i was driving back home last weekend in the cougar, i realized that it is the fourth classic car i have owned. in 1975, i bought a 1954 chevy sedan. in 1979, my wife and i bought two 1954 chevy 210 handyman wagons. now, i've bought the 1973 cougar.
in '75, the first chevy was 21 years old. four years later, the wagons were 25. the cat is 28, the oldest of them all.
the funny thing is, the cougar has the very same features that new cars have today while the chevys were dinosaurs. about the only differences between the cougar and a new car are the motor and air bags. about the only similarities between a 1954 chevy and a 1975 chevy are they both have seats, doors, and an engine, and even there they don't compare well.
have cars reached the limit in terms of available features?
