quote Buccaneer:
Kudos to the designer of that hood.
A nice work of art. Sadly, you can’t
say the same for the new ones.
Then again, with all the plastic and electronics,
I don’t think our grandchildren will be collecting
the 2018 Johnsons sixty years from now.

I find it interesting when we say what will and won’t be collected many years from now. When I joined the club about 20 short years ago if you showed up with any 1950’s vintage motor you were looked down upon, and nobody would collect those motors. Now I’m hearing the same thing about ‘60 and ‘70’s vintage motors, but I see people starting to fix them up. Sooner or later they all become old and interesting.
Just a few days ago I was told that after 1958 there are no collectable Motors, I don’t even understand that logic. Sorry if I sound like I’m ranting, not really I love all these old motors. And that’s a great looking hood, who cares what it cost.
