1:07 ...I can't stop watching that cat discovering the microphone!

I enjoyed this so much! Some really cool rides and cool cats! I'm a proud over of both a PT Cruiser and a Miata, so great to see them both to be included! 😍 Can't wait for the next one! Well done team!

Mr. Figgy was totally my favorite, but they were all great! I love a good classic car and these fun retro designs are the next best thing. Great show!

This is awesome! Nice work! 😀

Thanks for this! Even though it's probably self-explanatory, I didn't really know what "Retro Car" meant. It was explained perfectly in the video. I completely get it now. I really like how much the owners of the cars are really into their cars. I love hearing people's stories. Looking forward to more videos like this! Thanks.

You got me, and you got me good, and yes, you were absolutely right, I would not have guessed "PT Cruiser" as the answer to the "You'll never guess which car has less than 5000 miles..." Trivia Question, in fact it shocked me, but what's really more ironic about that is the owner's rationale/reasoning behind it, because his thinking, at the time he 'won it', for storing it, was the very same thought that crossed my mind at that time as well. (Not something I really care to admit to but, am glad I didn't execute my plan :P ). BRAVO to Athena*, I loved... er, love, her car, (B.I.O.N. I was vying to get in line for one b4 they came out!), and her charming, authentic and informative commentary, I also applaud the editor for their angles, views, and period correct music (not just for her car but throughout the video, but most notably during the shoot of his better half's spot ;) :D ). *and for not punching out the dude eating in her beautiful T-Bird!!! lol YES! Retro Cars have always been a great idea, the concept, overall, as you so aptly described in the video, is one I wholeheartedly agree with, there may have been some serious 'flops' along with some definite "WINS", but nevertheless, I hope the idea continues!! And now for my usual..... lol I don't like to be a "Party Pooper in anyway, I try to stay in line with the old adage "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything" (or at least keep it to yourself), but I'm afraid the two cars that "let me down" were... (I bet you could easily 'guess them') 1. I bowed out of the Plymouth Prowler line because of 2 reasons, 1. No V8, and 2. No Manual trans. but, as you already know, I wasn't the only one, many others were disappointed for the same reasons. Then there came the real heartbreaker and for almost the same reasons, I bowed out of line for the _________ because, although it came out with a V8, I was saddened by it's displacement and horsepower ratings but the real "Deal breaker" was, that it, like the Prowler, did not come with a clutch pedal. Yes, although I've learned to love it over the years, in spite of it having broken my heart, it was, you guessed it, the 02-05 Ford Thunderbird. I owned a '66 T-Bird in my youth and had always loved the 55, 56 & 57 T-Birds and when I heard they were coming out with a Retro in 2002 I was essentially fanatical in anticipation for it's release... but oh well, ironically, now I look at the 2000's Birds in a whole new light, age, maturity and an appreciation for automatics that go along with aging lol, may have something to do with it, but your video, and the owner of the featured Bird ;) , her example, enthusiasm and love for her car certainly help to further sway me. Really great video Bradman, I like how you put the order together, the line up variety, the segues (esp. Jag to Cat Cafe, of course! lol), the not commonly known details, owner involvement, music, VENUE, etc., etc., but of course, even with my being a bit bias, I expected nothing less and thank you for putting together such a great video. (BTW I said to myself "Hey that car shares the same chassis as "So & so's" before you asked the question, but that's only because, well I already told, so you know why, thus, I had and advantage over most viewers... :D (Your gal's & the =^-,o^= ) ;) .

Marrying cats and quirky cars, I'm in! Great video

The Thunderbird and Jaguar share the same platform.

Another thoroughly enjoyable video. The paint on that Prowler!!! Damn! Wanna hear a totally nerdy & useless fact: Your wife's Thunderbird is a tribute to the 1955 car that was Ford's retaliation of the Corvette....and now both modern versions are in your garage...lol. BEAUTIFUL 'Bird by the way. Can't tell you how much I loved this video. Thank You!

The Figaro is so cute!

I can't believe I missed this! What a great collection of retro themed cars! My favorite out of these would have to be the Figaro

Great video! I love retro car designs. Keep 'em coming, I say. And yes to Cat adoption as well!

Great video as usual. You hardly see Plymouth Prowlers or the T-Bird remakes on the roads of So Cal anymore.

Man Brad, that was so awesome. Loved every bit of this. The cars were great, the owners prospective was fantastic and whole thing was just so well put together! I loved seeing the ladies involved and sharing AND being part of the car culture. So well done!

I really enjoyed my short lived Fiat 500 Sport. When I spotted it at Autolenders I wasn't even thinking of buying a new (to me) car that soon but when I saw it, the price, it's milage and that it was standard I fell in love. Sadly it was totaled by a very inconsiderate driver. I'm looking forward to buying a post 2005 redesign Mustang (Though the recent recall has me slightly concerned) the call back to the original 60s/70s look makes me happy. I have 2 years until I'll be in a position to get a new car (stuck in a lease, but I need downpayment save up time anyway). New cars really are just so boring. I have a Hyundai Tuscon and....I park it in a lot - I mistake at least half a dozen vehicles for mine. Which is nice when I can mistake an expensive white SUV for mine but still....they all look the same! Totally agree that at least with retro styled cars they stand out and are interesting. ((Video idea : Coupes. Esp since most companies have all but done away with them.... )

Fun video! We have a 2003 Thunderbird with obvious Retro styling and a 2003 Mach 1 which also has some nice Retro touches (including the R-code "shaker" hood). As you say, much safer than the originals and, while the originals have their own desirability, the Retros have appeal and, to many, are becoming classics in their own right.

I like the variety in here! There's something for everyone! And those cats are damn cute.

Miata is the best because POP-UP HEADLIGHTS!

I think the coolest name for the channel should be Mustache Forever! Cool Mustache btw, god I like this cute little Nissan and Kitty!

Man, I really like your taste for cars! Also the attitude when you all talk about them is just great :) I do enjoy retro designs - as you said they allow us to have some of that old school feel without sacrificing the comfort and reliability. Another cool option are restomods though - although they often are more performance than comfort-oriented ;) Enjoyed the vid a lot, keep them coming!

Love the vid. Especially the cats. More cats please.

Awesome video! Meow. One of my favorite cars is retro, the light car company rocket!

Great idea for a video ! High FIVE !

I wish Renault bring back the Dauphine as a retro design, the Dauphine is just beautiful.

Awesome video! I’m a huge a car nut, especially the retro models of recent years. Pure “Eye Candy”, but you did forget to mention one…arguably the greatest of them all, the 5th Gen, 2005-2014 Ford Mustang. Also known as the S197. Styling designs pulled directly from the original “Pony Car” of the 60’s. Absolutely nothing screams retro more than a 2005-2009 galloping Pony from “The” Ford Motor Company. I’d say ask Camaro/Challenger owners but they don’t make those cars anymore…😂😂😂. I truly enjoyed the video.

God your video quality is so damn good! It genuinely bugs me that you don’t have hundreds of thousands of subs. But let’s be real, you will get there sooner than later. If you don’t get your own tv show by then haha.

Very cool! Keep up the content 🤙

Cats and cars. Doesn't get much better than that! I'd actually take the T-Bird. Surprised this hasn't gotten more views. I think something is going on with RU-vid the past few weeks. Seeing the same thing with my latest post.

enjoyed the show! Have two of the Ford Thunderbird retros, one even the color of your T-bird (my favorite color, including the same interior) but with a white hardtop. . We actually got to sit in the concept Prowler (purple) before the production models were built.

I really love the 2010 retro designed Camaro

PT cruiser shared platform with dodge neon but used stratus engine and trans, along with twist beam rear suspension for more cargo capacity

The most interesting car is the Nissan Figaro.

I love that Beetle! Special Ed. Satellite Blue! too bad it was only offered as an automatic

Is it the prowler and pt cruiser

The T-Bird and Jag. Ford DEW platform

I had a Chevy HHR. It was fun to drive.

the prowler is the best i don't care that it slow

Favourite retro designed car is the Speedback GT by David Brown Automotive. My brother, who runs the Automotive Affairs RU-vid channel, has done a few videos on those - hope you’ll check it out!

Great video! Glad to see everyone wearing their masks

I didn't think a Viper looked like that... I firmly believe every PT Cruiser driver is an A-hole. Sorry Chris. If that is your real name... My favorite is the Prowler and Athena's Thunderbird. I love that 90's T-birds looked like any other sedans, but they went retro on the redesign. ~Trav

I like the beetle 🤷🏻‍♂️ prefere the 1.9 tdi engine with 90hp

I've reached the age that 1994, 2001, and 2002 vehicles are considered retro. Sad face. Great cars though!

Give me a 1980 Seville!
