Nice retrospective
IMO, once you get past the style and romance of 60's cars - and I had a lot of those cars - you are left with the fact that today's cars are the best-engineered, best-built cars ever produced.

I don't remember if it was a Marauder but I remember a 63 or 64 Monterey with the back glass that would lower. I loved the concept.

Awesome side by side pics! I love the old 60's and 70's cars. But, you just can't beat the comfort, economy and performance of today's cars. The biggest difference is the coolness factor... The old ones are cooler, just not as practical! Otherwise, I would still have my 1970 Torino GT 429 CJ 4spd.
