Two criteria seem to appear in most every case, pointing to the difference between the ordinary and the exceptional examples of the automobile. What is our attachment to these machines? And how can it be the same despite the apparently dissimilar vehicles of yesteryear and today? Our attachment is the same despite the differences between a 1904 Stoddard-Dayton and a 2004 SUV.
