When you've got an tired, old product and you want to give it a "fresh" spin, simply slap "classic" on it. Works every time.Taken from the back hobo corner of a 1000 series car looking at a plaque attached to the front of the next, obviously 1000 series car.
If you can't quite make out the text, it says: Classic Car, 1976-2001, Twenty five years, This is one of the original Rohr Metro cars.
The only thing we can think that comes after "classic" is "antique," but that'd probably mean it would be in a museum.
