As a more progressive guy who owns solar panels, drives an EV, and been moving over to plant based meat substitutes a few times a week, yeah, I do miss the era of the old cars, they had style along with their absolutely crap gas mileage.
Don’t miss the overt racism that went along with it of course.
Oh, and if they’re going to let these 6L-flat-grill-death-plow-4’-bed-hemi trucks drive around as folks commuter vehicles can I at least get the banned 80s flip up head lights back?
Someday I would love to drop the body of a '55 Chevy on an EV frame. Really bored by car styles these days for the most part but love the stuff that goes inside them quite a lot.
I’m in a similar spot. I love everything about old 50s era cars but the milage. I love how nice they look. I love how fun they are to work on. I love the cooshiy bench seats. I love the feel of how all the switches and nobs cuthunk all the time. Really I just want a modern engine and transmission to make my bel air a practical car in me modern day. Hell considering how fast I drive I’d be down to engine swapping it with a Prius or something like that. I’ve heard that Corvettes are ridiculously fual efficient despite being a sport car so I should really get around to seeing if thad make my car fast and practical.
I don’t have an EV, but I’d like an electric mid-sized utility truck that has physical controls, a good radio, and some thought given to durability and repair concerns. As long as they’re all cars or trucks with touch screens and remote software updates, I’m not interested.

I’d love to have a 67 Mustang GT Fastback as an EV with dual motors.
