hey 68Stang....I've been in your hood back a few years. bout 12, bought a motorcycle there.
as for the mags?....well I have a lowly 67 Drop Top.....magazines, car shows are filled with the late models now. So being an understanding fellow I attempt to appreciate the late models, ask questions etc.. AS SOON as these people find out that I own an "old one" they have NOTHING to say. So goes the mags they follow the money and the money is in the late mods now. It's marketing. Now then for the owners of the late models.....I gave them a chance at more than one show and got the same response. Case in point, Super Stang Fest Daytona last year, My friend has a pretty 93 Drop Top that is black. Well low and behold the ultimate "Black Mustang Club" badgered him for an hour to join their group at the show, he simply pointed at mine and said if you let my friend line up I would love to, LOL they said we don't want those old cars in our club.LOL!!!!!........now my feelings are, if I want to see a late model one I'll drop by my local dealer.
as for the car shows.....I don't waste my time unless I get a reasonable expectation there are "old ones" there. LOL!!!!
So you guys need to understand the mags are looking for the draw of the new cars and the crowds they bring for THE MONEY.
