Yes, I have guys all the time at cruise ins telling their buddy " this is an original, you don't see these around often". Of course, their buddy knows even less than they do so they are both duly impressed.
If I'm close enough to the car I will usually politely inform them, but quite often I am hearing them across a distance while I'm BS'ing with someone else with a very cool car/truck/motorcycle/wife......

I actually posted this tongue in cheek. Many times guys want to talk about the car but I am distracted with something else and I'm quite sure they think I'm being arrogant or something and wander off without much conversation. Those are the times I feel bad about not being more approachable to discuss and educate more guys about our hobby. Besides, I prefer driving it to parking and talking about it. Wish it wasn't raining today.
