Old Car Magazines

[Stefan]

So I bought a whole bunch of old Wheels and Motor Magazines, mainly to read old reviews of some of the great musclecars of the 70's.

A few things that struck me that sometime reading stories, article and letters you'd think it was printed in 2016.

• readers complaining about speed limits
• readers complain about all these fancy safety items making life for drivers hard (seatbelts)
• Why are car makers making cars that can go 130MPH when our roads are crap.

I notice that Ford even then just did not advertise the cars or market Falcon.

Holden ads, Chrysler ads, all other car makers....never Ford.

Editorial about the potential end of Aussie car manufacturing (August 1970)

Very entertaining....

Also the new Falcon GT 0-60MPH in 8.7sec, described as blistering performance. I had a giggle, them noted the new VW fastback in the same mag managed the 0-60MPH "sprint" it in 20 seconds
