Otherwise your observations are strictly psychological. The small modern cars give most drivers a feel of confodence simply because the car is small. Perhaps noise level is an issie too. Modern cars since the 1980's tend to be better insulated.
Since u find the Corvette to be less desireable than ANY VW only demonstrates that the car intimidates you. Same for the Packard. I'm trying be nice about it.


I disagree. I think the usual problem is the expectation that old cars should drive like new cars. When you hop into the '56 or '67, realize what you're driving, drive accordingly, and enjoy it.

I would NEVER put radial tires on a car that was originally clad with bias ply tires unless I was attempting to get it to drive like a newer car. In which case, a lot more needs to be done than just putting on radial tires.
