A Look at Those Beautiful Old American Cars

To be honest, I do not like the fact that most cars of today be on the look the same because I love stylish cars. In my opinion, every car as long as have an individual personality. The classic American cars certainly have this unusual attributes. Pontiac, Cadillac, Chevrolet and the names of other classic cars conjure up an image of speeding lessened the freeways and neighborhoods.

However, people who are concerned with the environment do not patronize big, brash cars because they have a propensity to be gas-guzzlers. For instance, a Hummer SUV gives a staggering nine miles to the gallon. Since I am also an environment minded person, American cars cost me a conflict of interest.

In the past, we were never too concerned about how a large amount of miles we were becoming to the gallon. A few decades ago, the government did not pile the tax on driving price points because energy was cheap and there was no welfare state to support. However, the costs of gas has little by little increased and more people are now concerned about the impact of American cars on the environment.

European cars, such as Saab and BMW, that are more economical to run, are now becoming more popular. However, some people carry on to mull over these types of cars as American cars because one or two of them are manufactured in the US. These cars represent a necessary lifestyle change, even if they may not be as much fun.

There are a few American cars that have entered the culture as icons. Some American cars suffer made a contribution to most movies and TV shows. For example, the cherry red Ford Gran Torino was like another character in the ?Starsky and Hutch? series. This car is well&wshyp;known affectionately as the striped tomato. It screeched just about corners and skidded sideways as the two detectives chased in the wake of the bad guys.
