I bet not a lot unfortunately.  But on the flipside, restoring ancient old rusty cars is in, in a big way  :D

One thing that jumps out at me is how thin everybody was.  If that video was taken today, everyone would be 50 pounds heavier.  Not criticizing, just saying.
A life undreamed is a waste.  A dream unlived is a sin.
