I remain absolutely convinced of the mechanical superiority of modern cars. Which is not to say there aren't occasionally problematic cars or systems.

But as a whole, new cars are more efficient, more reliable, more capable and safer than 50-60 years old cars and by a wide margin. Though they are nowhere near as cool looking to me/us on these forums.

I don't think the question stands up to even a cursory comparison.
