Cars of yesteryear bring back memories

Your Sept. 8 car show notice ("Car Show to Put Legacies in Motion") seems to say the exhibit had only eight cars in it. I wasn't able to come to see it, so my only information is from your report.

Since my first, in 1947, I might have owned as many as 200 old, odd cars, many of which I've driven to Madison Park from 1950 to now - not to car shows but to The Attic and the Red Robin to have a beer.

In fact, I was driving one when I found your newspaper today.

All in all, I preferred the Madison Park and Seattle of the 1950s to 1970s to this crowded, on-the-make burg of today. Now, it's all about pretense and money.

"Old cars" are now big investment material. What we need is a good [economic] depression.
