There is an article about these cars published today called Dream motors, real world cash that does a nice job summarizing all these cars and what they’re all about today.

Granted all these cars were king of the hill in their day, but when you look at what stuff costs today – it’s no wonder that cars like these remain very attractive options for those who don’t have 100k to burn.

In fact many of these cars are very affordable and seriously worth looking into.

Anyway, I liked the above article and think it’s worth a read.
