And the heart and soul of a nation is lost, without a single shot being fired.
It is truly rare today to see a comment as insightful as this one is. So rare, in fact, that one's first impulse is to suspect sarcasm....because much more of that is seen on this kind of topic.
But I briefly looked at your posting history and found it refreshingly different from that of the herd. So a big rep comes your way as you really do seem to be a guy who gets it. Thank you.
We've been over this before, old cars look like the era they belong to, so in each era, most cars have looked alike, due to design and detail similarities. There's probably more variation in modern cars than ever before.
That Aston I posted looks nothing like a Chevy Spark, which looks nothing like a Nissan Altima, which looks nothing like a BMW X5 which looks nothing like a Camaro, which looks nothing like a Prius.
I'm going to put this here, as an example of all cars looking alike except for detail differences in the grill and headlight area:
Yes, a lazy picture drawn by a lazy illustrator. Do you really think all cars built in 1939 were 4 door sedans with identical wheel base, length, and width measurements? Where are the convertible coupes, the convertible sedans, the formal sedans, the station wagons, the business coupes, the long wheelbase models, & the two door sedans?

And they're drawings - not photos - that have been posted a dozen times before, each time as frivolously.
I never liked big cars, especially older big American cars.
If anything from that time, I'd look at an MG sprite, Austin Healy, Triumph, etc...
I am the opposite... driving a foreign sports car like those would really be irritating for me... cramped inside, way too small externally, hard-riding, low-torque engine, room for only two, in some cases not very reliable, etc.
For me, it's not even a comparison when I could buy cars like a '69 SS396 Chevelle (not to mention the fantastic '70 SS 454 Chevelle), '69 Dodge Charger R/T, '70 350/350 hp Camaro, '66 Pontiac GTO 389 Tri-Power, '70 Oldsmobile 4-4-2 455 W30, '70 Buick GS 455 State 1, '66 Ford Fairlane GT 390, '66 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham, '70 Lincoln Continental, etc.

And are you saying modern coupes, SUVs, CUVs, pickups, sedans, hatchbacks, wagons, etc all look the same, too? Same goddamn argument. The point is, as has been every time that has been posted, is that cars of similar roles, in similar eras have ALWAYS looked the same. So yes, all the sedans looked the same, all the coupes looked the same, all the convertibles looked the same, and all the wagons looked the same. So saying that NEW cars are "starting to look the same" (an argument made every era since cars began) is pointless and inaccurate, as they've ALWAYS looked alike in their respective roles and eras.
Also, all those cars are accurately drawn. I've worked on a lot of them and that's what they looked like. THe detail differences are in the grilles,. headlights, and a bit of the rear fenders, and occasionally the rear quarter window shape (but even then, the basic forms are the same).
Q:...Will Millennials love of the "sharing economy", high debtload, and disinterest in classic cars cause their prices to fall?
A:... their love of the "sharing economy", high debtload could actually cause Classic Car prices to skyrocket regardless of their lack of interest in Classic Cars
our weak economy, soaring dept, gov't printing money to compensate, and more & more Millennials voting for socialism, will eventually trigger hyperinflation
The sharing economy is baloney. millennials will figure this out when it no-longer is cool to hanging out in their parents basement. They will figure it out when they start losing girlfriends to greying gen x-ers.

yup,.... and they will figure it out when they start paying taxes
If election day was April 15th, and your filed return was your voter ID card... there would be no such thing as socialists, voter fraud, ACORN or community organizers
