At some point in history, every car was a daily. Back in ‘69 they didn’t have some 2010 accord to daily, they’d be dailying the cars collectors and enthusiasts have as weekend cars now.
Have a friend with a 66' stang as a daily. Gets lotta respect from car people. Spent a long time and money fixing it up. Has its quirks (ie. Engine shutoffs over some bumps and potholes)
Daily drove a 1950 Chevy styleline business coupe for about 20 years. Got it for my first car from a couple down the road for $2k back in 2004. Sold it for a down on my house. But that car was the most comfortable car I ever owned.
Several years ago, I'd see a guy driving to work every day in a '29 Model A, and as far as I could tell, everything was period correct. I was never able to talk to him even though we both worked on the same street.
Me and my dad just bought an 87 Pontiac fiero (it was for $1,000 in good mechanical condition, just needs new seats, a wash, and ac/heating fixed) and am wondering about either fixing it and flipping it or having it be my first car
I'm working on finishing the job on my daily now, a 1970 plymouth satellite 2 door. Has a rebuilt 440 and 727 automatic which I bought her with. Just needing to get her wiring done and finishing her interior. I'll have to get a title for her, but not a big deal considering she's almost 55 years old. Got the bill of sale so that should be relatively easy to take care of. It's funny, the car came with 68 charger front seats and her original rear seat. I'll eventually get it all reupholstered and have the interior color changed as well as get a real plymouth bench seat (whenever I can find one, kinda hard it's seeming to be.) Had to get a new carburetor for her, went with an edelbrock for simplicity and ease so that should be in soon. Has disc brakes up front but drums out back so my first order of work on her will be saving up to do disc's out back too. 3 point seatbelts as well. Having one of these cars is 100% a way of life, these cars become a part of you in many ways. Daily driving one gets your near instantaneous respect from a lot of people. Yeah, the 440 under the hood won't be the most efficient thing on earth, but with the 4 speed overdrive conversion I have planned and proper carb tuning, I should see 18 to 20 mpgs. Need to check my rear end ratio though, I think it's a 3.55 or higher so I'll probably have to change that to a 3.23 or a 2.94 or something like that. Makes it better for highway driving which I do every day around here.
I drove an early 70's Nova for a few years through college. Air bags - old cars are fun, but there's no air bags and that's super dangerous. Rattles. Everything rattles, creaks and vibrates. Newer, modern cars do not creak rattle and vibrate. Loud, everything is loud. Modern insulation and quieter engines give a peaceful driving experience. Reliability - My old car was also a drag car, so I was constantly breaking things. Cool factor - driving the old car made me the coolest ever
Daily drove my 1990 foxbody briefly when my 07 mustang gt got totalled it wasn't that bad other than needing shocks but i imagine a 60s mustang is a completely different animal when Daily driving
My favorite kind of bucket seats, so comfortable and soft, if I drove and had that mustang I would probably be squeezing the cheese on the soft driver seat, I would eat gassy foods first!
Nothing wrong with drum brakes. Properly maintained they work just fine. As with any brake, the limiting factor is usually tire grip. What I would not do without is a dual master system. I just bought a 2004 Toyota Corolla CE. Base model has a driver and front passenger airbag only, and no ABS. Suits me.
I can remember the sigh of despair from the service man when I told him that I am using my Mustang as a daily driver. Paraphrasing a saying: a car will be longer intact when being parked in a garage. But this is not what cars are built for. 😂🎉
It depends on the car and the location. A Ford Mustang, or any of its platform mates, are very easy to drive daily. The proviso there is that it would only be half of the year. No way am I taking that out in the salt.
Okay, I hate how he explained this, The ONLY con to a classic is not the car, but YOU! As in people scratch your paint, may bump your car or even straight hit it and repairs is hard to do on them unlike a Civic.
1.Heated steering wheel dude just leave your car in the sun 100% better 2.Reverse camera Well theres just a mirror for that one 3.apple car play Have you ever heard of a aux port
I would definitely daily drive that car

That sounds like one hell of a major quirk
I drive my 66 mustang almost daily. Manual everything with no modern tech. Much much more enjoyable than anything newer.

I dailied a MKV continental, once the fuel prices got bad I opted for an AMC Spirit with the Iron Duke and it is surprisingly reliable
That’s literally my dream car. Insane

My first car was a 69 Acadian, a Canadian market variant of the Nova, sold by Pontiac dealers.
Funny. Back in the 70’s, we all drove classic cars daily.
Im buying a 1972 vw beetle, and im going to dayly it, hopefully
I think daily driving a classic car is nice, it may not have all the new modern features but that’s okay, it’s a comfortable ride built for the driver

I used to Daly my 86 el Camino no regrets

He’s so 💅🏻💅🏻😂💀
HELLOOOO YOUR NEIGHBOR HEREE 🎉🎉🎉
I do.😁👍👍
As far as I'm concerned, it has to be reliable, fairly easy to maintain, at least front wheel disc brakes, cruise control, and ABS.

This is what happens when rich kids decide they wanna be a "car guy"
I drive a 1984 Dodge ram pick up
Can I be in a UA-cam shorts video? Just me saying hi or somthing
My friends don’t believe that I’m your neighbor
No questions asked. Yes
Yes

Pretty :)
In your opinion, is a 1995 Mustang GT a classic car today? Original owner here.
Okay, I hate how he explained this, The ONLY con to a classic is not the car, but YOU! As in people scratch your paint, may bump your car or even straight hit it and repairs is hard to do on them unlike a Civic.
I would daily drive it if there wasn’t any idiots on the road
The mpdern stuff mentioned not anything id want like reverse camera
All I need is heat and ac and all drive that all day everyday 😂🤣😂
How do you think they were used back in the day??? Only on weekends? They've always been a daily
I thought the deal breaker was going to be AC. Everything they named are just add ons 😂
Dont you need a front plate?❤❤
Jeremiah Jenkins.
John wick did it
Hold the fuck on... there are heated steering wheels?!
1.Heated steering wheel
dude just leave your car in the sun 100% better
2.Reverse camera
Well theres just a mirror for that one
3.apple car play
Have you ever heard of a aux port
No i would not drive it daily at least
Sheesh
If let the finger do the talking was person 👆
Also they probably don't know how to drive a manual I am 17 and I got an 80 Cummins from my parents and it's a manual
The hell do you think people back in 67 did? Not daily drive these vehicles?
Stick too
Mustang isn’t a muscle car! This is pony car together with Camaro
Nothing classic about under the hood.
