Old School or New School?

[sleekism]

Simple question do you prefer the old school Fords or the new school Fords?

Hard to define old school or new school though. I'm not sure whether you would clasiify old school from the XK until the XD or would you classify it up to the introduction of unleaded fuel and the demise of the Cleveland V8.

I love my Fairmont but there is something about driving old muscle cars that new cars will never match. Newer cars seem more fragile and overly complex and will never match the raw feel of a big, solid and simple carby fed V8 plus all the computer technology and extra features simply means there is more to go wrong and you can do less work yourself so have to depend more on outside mechanics.
Newer cars are plasticky and stuff breaks and dents easy nothing like the old Valiant and XT which you could treat like a dog and they ould still ask for more.

Old cars had their problems though with rust being a constant battle and it was almost a ritualistic thing working on the car every weekend.

Hard choice myself I know I wont be happy until I have both a FPV Typhoon and a 1968 Fairmont 302W in my garage.
