Retro
Car Craze
 At
some point in time, every automotive enthusiast dreams
of owning an iconic car from the past whether it’s
a VW Bug, a rugged Jeep, or the beloved Ford Mustang.
But the fact is, most of us think of these old cars as
unreliable and unrefined and don’t want the hassle
and upkeep an older car requires to serve as a daily driver.
That’s why the current retro-modern styling craze
has captured our collective hearts, even if it is nothing
more than a smart marketing tool. Give the public a refined
and reliable version of their favorite icon from the past,
add a warranty to finalize the sale, and cha-ching!>
-- instant profit center.
America has jumped at several opportunities
to own a piece of the past, even though many were loose
translations, but has ignored others. Some manufacturers
like Mini stay true to the original while others like
GM and Nissan interpret retro-modern a different way.
What is the recipe for success? Do some designs fail
because they’re based on vehicles too old or obscure
to appeal to a wide range of consumers, or do customers
walk because the design isn’t faithful enough
to the original to make the association? For every retro-modern
car that collect dust on dealer lots, others become
big sellers and with Baby Boomers retiring with more
personal wealth than any generation before it looks
like the retro theme is here to stay.
