had a customer yesterday with a 1983 Mercury Grand Marquis. I would have gladly traded even on my 2004 Grand Prix. He had just bought it from an elderly couple who bought it new back in the day and put all of 75,000 miles on it.

There is something to be said for ergonomics. Like being able to find the controls for the air and heating.
