    I have loved 1956 Plymouths since I owned one way back then.

    No one will dare travel farther than the city limits, because of the dreaded ‘range anxiety’!!

    Given her age Broomie having a Plymouth isn’t that out of date (discontinued 2001). She could have been driving a Hupmobile (discontinued 1939).

    She should be able to keep her ’56 Plymouth Belvedere operable for quite awhile. But after the infrastructure has been converted to electricity, the question will be where is she going to find gas for it?

    I still want that ‘69 Camaro, ’70/’71 Challenger, or 445 donvertible when my ship comes in. Just for Sunday driving.

    How many decades will it take to switch to electric? The cost alone will be its downfall.

    As with everything, the technology for improving battery ranges for EVs are improving each year. A lot of car manufacturers, both stateside and outside of the states are vowing to go full electric within the next 5-to-10-year timeframe. If infrastructure keeps up with this change, and that’s a real question, then it’s not hard to see where all this is heading. But, and here’s the thing, there will always be combustible engine cars around, no matter what. They just won’t be the overriding majority anymore.

    As much as I’d like to see EV’s take over now and forever, the ICE’s will be around for quite a while. Even if GM lives up to its pledge to be making EV’s only by 2030, they’re dealers will be repairing a lot of their ICE’s for decades to come.

    You’re not obsolete, Broomie, you’re just old.

    I’ve been obsolete for three years now. It’s called retirement.

    How could you ever replace a dual quad 303 Poly? They were a great motor.

    I have an internal combustion engine, every time I eat frijoles…

    This is the same model as “Christine,” right? Don’t annoy it.

    IC engines will still be around for a long time. Just not running on gasoline or diesel. Rudy designed his engine to run on peanut oil originally. But heating oil was cheaper so the design was modified.

    Relax, ‘56 Plymouth of Broomie Dearest! You’ve got far more lives than the proverbial cat. And, besides, I don’t think the internal combustion engine will be going away anywhere near as soon as some zealots crave….
