> But what I'd really like to have is an update of one of those classic old cars that still looks exactly like the original, but has modern mechanical parts. The cars I dream about would look like a 1939 to 1948 Ford coupe, or 1941 Lincoln, or a '39 Plymouth, or a '48 Chrysler, but with a modern, fuel injected engine with electronic ignition system and an alternator.

Best. Idea. Ever.

Looking at that linked page in your other post, I've decided I'd love a '40s Ford coupe if it was as easy to maintain as one of your reliable Toyotas. I would get a black one and drive around in a fedora.

I'm all for restoring the styles of just about everything to the '30s and '40s.
