That looks to be mostly 50s cars. I guess cars didn’t last long enough back then to be jalopies. Think about today and how every parking lot has around 5 cars over 20 years old.

Think about how much cars changed between 1935-1955 and compare that with how much cars have changed between 1995-2015. Which, I suppose, is your point. But I thinking third beyond simple reliability and speaks more about a fundamental change in cars in the earlier generations.

I agree with you. It goes beyond reliability. Cars did change quite a bit from then. People also had more money and cars were arguably larger as status symbols then than now.

It also speaks volumes about the scrap metal programs of WWII, and their... well, volume.
