There is a long tradition of vintage cars cruising the Colorado Boulevard Rose (Bowl) Parade route the day before. I just got back from my tour in my decidedly non-vintage BMW 435i.
What stunned me was noticing that 80% of the cruising vintage cars were from the very short period from the mid 50’s to just after 1970, maybe 17 years. There were almost no cruising cars from the last 50 years, save exotics.
The most popular car, by far, was the VW Bug, followed a ways back by 60’s Mustangs. Models were splintered thereafter.
