oldodge41 Posted September 30, 2012 Report Posted September 30, 2012 I had to go into work yesterday. To ease the pain of working the weekend I took the '41 Dodge. I had to cross campus (PSU) from the West Campus Steam Plant to the East Campus Steam Plant about noon. I received quite a few thumbs up and some pointing and smiling from the students I passed along the way. The Asian students seemed especially appreciative of the old car. It got me thinking about what the old car scene looks like in Asian countries. Forties era American cars I would think are rare due to the war. Any forum members have any first hand knowledge? Quote
Robert Horne Posted September 30, 2012 Report Posted September 30, 2012 I have been to China 3 times in the past few years. I did not see any kind of old vehicles on my trips. Very few bycycles also. I read that only 1 in 1000 people in China have a vehicle, but that is changing fast. I seen alot of Buicks there , and Chevy and Fords are made there now.... Quote
Don Coatney Posted October 1, 2012 Report Posted October 1, 2012 I believe we at one time had a forum member from China. Might have been on the old forum. Quote
oldodge41 Posted October 1, 2012 Author Report Posted October 1, 2012 When a previous employer closed up and shipped all their equipment to China I was asked to go there for start-up assistance. For several reasons I wasn't interested but I have a lot of respect for people who travel the globe. My online searches agree with what Bob said above. Quote
greg g Posted October 1, 2012 Report Posted October 1, 2012 If you want to know why price of gas keeps going up, look at China and their emerging middle class. News last week said GM sold 2 million new cars thier last year. Mostly Caddys and Buicks. Quote
