Nostalgia, longing, homesickness… call it what you want, but for those of us who really like cars, seeing a classic arouses special sensations. Even more so if the details of the model in question are accompanied by extraordinary knowledge about it, as is the case with the videos to which our colleague Rubén Fidalgo has accustomed us. The deference shown to each of the classics that it tests is transferred perfectly to the public, and that, added to the fact that to a greater or lesser extent they are cars that remind us of past times -and in many cases better-, makes the section already count. with a more than loyal audience. Let’s see what the 5 have been most viewed classic videos of 2022 on our Autocasión YouTube channel (to which, by the way, we encourage you to subscribe.)
