There have been many occasions, on cruise nights, when I have someone in the under-21 crowd ask if they can touch my vinyl top. I always found that amusing. They just don't understand the concept of a vinyl top. I tell them it's basically replicating the convertible look. I just think it's funny how young people, who have grown up in the cookie-cutter age of lookalike jellybean cars, marvel at the old classics.
They do seem to understand that style and beauty came before aerodynamics and safety back in the 60's, and I think that's why classic cars are always respected by young people.
