i grew up around Chevy's and always felt that a Chevy should be clean, not necessarily painted super nice, but clean. ive been into vw's the past 6 years and have owned over 8 or so. and ive gotten more money for original painted vw busses with rust than ones that were faded but not rusty. it seems a new culture of those that have less, or cant bring themselves to spend on things like accessories and paint. i like my chevy,s clean, and my vw;s grungy...funny but now i see it coming into Truck scene. Camaros will still need paint but trucks are a bit different.....working class. like 100 dollar jeans that are beat right off the shelf. clean or dirty i say roll it....you cant take it with you!!!
