I’m with Brendan on the white wall tires and hood ornaments. My grandparents had a 89 Crown Vic LTD with white walls and the hood ornament. That think was tank

I am the proud owner of my second Lincoln Town Car. I was fortunate enough to find this one with 53, 000 miles on it. Needless to say I will be owning this VERY comfortable car for MANY years into the future

Agree with the wheel issue. 15 to 17 is good or me, but one os the biggest reason for the bigger wheels is the bigger brakes (disc rotors). But yeh, I don't want anything on the street with less than a 60 series profile

I miss the quarter vent windows. Iirc the last holdout was ford with the hdf250 and f350 in 1997

[R.Nelson]

Town cars!!! Big Mercury's!!! You don't hear about stuff like that on TFL..these are cars iv owned..I can't believe I'm hearing this..Lincoln's!!

I agree with all of these, but white walls/lettering especially. my Gen 2 Explorer looks fantastic with the white "Wrangler" text on the sidewalls. makes it look so much sportier

[Ramblin_Rob]

Brendan, you need to find a Lincoln from 68-72 to get their best comfort

[danatkinson]

Café standards need to go and gas needs to be a buck so we can have pretty vehicles again

[youtubecarspottersguide]

a large under floor trunk in wagons aka S.U.V. secret storage for camera eq. drones , round or square head lights that one could buy at any auto parts store one can change in 10 mins

[danatkinson]

White walls are vehicle dependent to look good. Solid raised white letters on the other hand look fantastic!

[bertwilson]

I miss the windshield wipers that they used to put on car headlights. For people that travel long distances in remote, dark places with lots of road grime, they were a godsend.

If I never see another whitewall again, my life will be better for it.

My dad had a late 70s Chev truck and one day brought home 2 horse hood ornaments. He installed them on the truck, and it looked like a team of horses was pulling the truck. We always had a team of horses that we used to skid trees out of the bush. In 2022, I found a website that sells hood ornaments and bought an art deco horse for a 2016 GMC Canyon. When you are driving, you can use a hood ornament as a reference point to know where the edge of your vehicle is. If you are concerned about a hood ornament injuring a pedestrian I think the front bumper would do more damage. I like manual windows because in the winter you need to open the driver side window a "crack" (1/8 - 1/4 inch) To let the moisture from your breath escape and avoid fogging up the windows. Power windows are too twitchy and you cannot get the precise control that manual windows offer. There are rims with a white edge that give modern tires the look of whitetails. I put Toyo tires on my truck with the white lettering facing out because I find the solid black tires and black rims that are popular to be boring.

The hand crank option is still around. Its called the bump start with a manual transmission

[TCEPSD]

Go to Mexico and all you will see is Nissan Hardbody’s with LED headlights, they are everywhere! You can’t drive a city block without at least seeing one. It’s a real testament to their durability Brendan is right, why pay a Toyota premium when you can get a hardbody.

[danatkinson]

Nothing like looking over your 6ft long hood to see a hood ornament sitting proudly whilst giving you an idea where your front is.

[culjonez]

I would like to see analog, off-road dash top gauge pods come back. Along with analog center gauges on sports cars.

[danatkinson]

Car phones were in every bad guys car on TV shows. I'd rather have a cb and be the good guy lol.

[danatkinson]

Wood panels need to make a comeback especially on wagons

[krtwood]

What is missing specifically from cars is a cargo bed.

I see you used a Z32 as your default pic for the T top! Tommi you haven’t done any recent videos on your NA Z32, I’m looking to purchase a Twin turbo 300zx and I am wondering what your experience has been with your convertible ? A lot of mechanics don’t want to work on it because of the tight space in the engine bay
