8. Sturdy Construction

A big reason that classic cars have more charm and character when compared to modern autos is the sturdy construction of the vehicles. For years, gasoline was cheap, and auto makers were not incentivized to make vehicle weight a primary design concern when making their vehicles. The difference in weight combined with the relatively few driver’s aids available on classic vehicles gives them a different feeling than driving a new car off of the lot today. Many of the vehicles were also much larger than those we see on the roads today giving the driver an added feeling of security when driving the car in heavy traffic or on windy roads. Although classic cars were not bullet proof, they delivered an added feeling of safety that is hard to replicate with modern autos.
