I'm sorry, Bud, but I have to disagree with you there.  Our English 
cousins have not been wooed away into the "disposable" society, and 
certainly did not have that attitude around 1960.  It has been my 
experience that, as a people,  they are far more concerned with getting 
value for their money than are we Yanks.  Money has always been so tight 
in England, and they don't do a lot of impulse spending.    That their 
cars have held up so well over the years is, I believe, a tribute to 
their craftsmanship and the public demand for quality in what they were 
buying 45 years ago and more!
