American Cars of 1958

[wow_happens28]

One of my best friends (class of 65) owned Yeserday's Auto in Minneapolis. He had a big showroom and an elevator that could carry a heavy car up to the 2nd floor showroom or the basement where they detailed cars coming in.

He was a broker and anybody who could not sell their classic car he would try to sell it for them and make a commision.

He did great until 2008 and closed it for 4 reasons, but still does some online business.

1.In like the 50's and previos for example, a 51 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58 and 50 Chevy's all looked totally different. Now days a 2000 Camray looks a lot like a 2022. So it is just not as interesting for classic cars any more for some people.

2. Internet made it easier for one to sell a classic car online, and internet gaming and such offered many more things to do. And a generational thing in that the newbies did not learn how to work on cars.

3.Their was a recession

4. He wanted to retire

Minneapolis area does have a back to the 50's car show at their State Faur grounds every June. It still draws a huge crown of individuals with their classic cars.
