If I ever get my hands on a time machine I'll take a modern car back with me and drive it around in 1950s America. I doubt anything would happen. If anyone asked I would just say I built it myself. It was normal to build your own car back then.

My whole family were machinists. My grandfather, Dad and uncles. My dad grew up in a machine shop...literally. he built his own engine from a hunk of metal just because he could. I've heard so many stories about how much torque the things had. It sure was a different time back then

It was better back then. I which I were around to see it. But I know it's never coming back.

If you can find gasoline. It was all leaded at that point, and you're going to get exactly 0 fill-ups until the lead destroys every sensor in your engine. Take oil as well, the synthetics we have now didn't exist.

Good point. Unleaded gas didn't show up until the 1970s. I don't think leaded gas would even work in a fuel injected engine.

It would inject, and it would probably run for a short time - but then your O2 sensors would foul and who knows what else would fail.

Because benzene is so much safer than lead, right?

Nah it’s your car expecting unleaded will give you the middle finger with lead.

Why would you want a newer vehicle?

Older vehicles were cool, but a good modern car will run far longer than an old car.
If you ever watch any of those shows where someone goes around to junkyards looking for an older car to pull out, listen to them talk about the mileage. 50-70k was about the norm before the thing rotted away or the transmission blew itself apart.
My 2007 focus went 238k before it's first "stops me from running" failure, and I could have limped away from that as well but decided to just replace the parts.

The Focus really is an excellent car. I have two of them. It would look entirely alien back then though. The fiberglass body alone would be crazy to them.

Just to prove no one would notice it.

If you're not radicalized by the 15¢ price, then you should be by the fact that prices were so CONSISTENT, they literally integrated it into their store sign which wouldn't be changed for years at a time.

And walk up only. No tables to sit down. You could feed a family of 4 for about $3
