It's Vintage! So Cute!

Old fashioned car found through Google

     Why is vintage cool, in style, and expensive? I was driving around with my family when a car pulled up next to us that was definitely not from this century. My dad and my brother were amazed saying things like "what an awesome car" and "I'd kill for a car like that. I didn't understand why they would want a car so old as compared to a brand new one.
     In The Great Gatsby,  Gatsby sends his whole life fawning over things of the past. Nick, another character in the book, describes Gatsby's obsession with the past as, "an extra ordinary gift for hope". With Gatsby living in his past life with Daisy he is hoping to make his future more like the past. Except, a future with his past life is nearly impossible and the only way it would happen is if something "extra ordinary" occurred. That something is not likely though do to the fact it just is not "ordinary". Anyways, this hope for  future based on the past could be the answer to the obsession with vintage cars.
     It is not ordinary to see "classic" cars on the road so maybe people like to own them because they have accomplished something near to impossible. They have brought back the past while in the future. People could also be obsessed with the past because those were simpler times. However, is bringing objects from the past back in style really going to make this current life simpler?
