Younger collectors prefer 1980s and 90s cars partly because they drive better than the muscle cars boomers collect: smaller, lighter, with better steering and brakes and no screens; a club founder says a 1950s Corvette 'is not a sports car', the classic-car insurer's chief calls a 1967 Mustang GT500 'a fast car, not a fast-stopping car', and the 1,000-member Classic Car Club Manhattan averages about 40 years old.
