Why do all these "old" cars seem fairly new to me?

In most cases, they have been very carefully and thoroughly restored, at great expense.

It is very rare for a car to have been with its original owner all these years and be in such (original) condition. In fact, even if always garaged, I think paint would still oxidize and upholstery materials could still break down over a period of 50 years.

An old photo of what would now be an old car. I took this picture of my family's Buick Skylark when I was 10. Though I don't recall the exact year model for certain, there's a good chance I was taking a picture of the new car, so I'll guess that it's a 1972 model. While the Buick is long gone, I actually still have the Kodak Instamatic that I took this photo with — my first camera.

This is the original Subaru Kei car from the 1960s. I believe it was sold briefly in the US as the Subaru 360 (as in 360 cc engine). It was our first exposure to the brand.

You guys are good! Thank you for solving the mystery!

All the best,

Just another Cuban hybrid. Do you identify by the body? the frame? running gear? engine? all are different in many cases.

This is entering my alternate home town of Cueto in Holguin province, Cuba.
