These classic cars where all new at one time and used as daily drivers so I don’t see anything wrong with daily driving a classic car.

Buy a Buick. They quietly made some performance models like the Gran Sport/GS/GSX extended family, they made luxury sport like the mid '60s Rivieras and Riviera GS cars, pure luxury like Le Sabre amd Electra, and damn well had heat and a great many featured a/c. And style? Get you into a '67 Rivi and learn about what style is!

I overhauled a '57 Ford gear box back in the early 2000's. The gears, etc, were 'easy' to find then. Now, I find NOTHING! So, any ideas if new parts are somewhere I've not found? I just recently had a friend with a '57 F-100 bring me a failed/jammed gear box. It took way too long to disassemble because the pin the sector shaft gear moved out of the press fit in the sector casting and jammed on the gearbox housing! SHAZBAT! I got creative to get the pin out and then found the sector shaft did not want to come out of the housing! I used a bench press to get it pushed out finally. So, If I can get new parts, I'll reassemble after repairing the hole I had to drill into the housing to weld a stud onto that sector gear bearing pin to 'S L OW L Y' pull it out with washers and a nut, acting against the gearbox casting. Darn that's hard to describe to insure you understand what I did. So, any parts venders selling the steering shaft gear. and sector assembly?

I've been more or less Daily Driving a '72 Cadillac Fleetwood for the last 4 months and agree with your points. The one thing I can add is how surprisingly modern my 50 year old car drives. I've had a couple of unexpected issues, but to your point, really easy and cheap to fix and covered by the fact my car isn't depreciating by 50% of my car payment each month.

I've been in a pretty bad wreck in a classic. I know how bad it can be and how much worse it could have been. I've also seen modern cars ripped in half with people still in them. One thing that's very bad about modern cars is too many people think the car will save them, and they do dumber and dumber things all the time in them. Too fast, not enough fear, and too many bad driving habits from brakes that save you by themselves, sensors that hit your brakes for you and keep you in your lane. Drivers are more like semi-interested passengers each day. It's dangerous as hell when people don;t know that taking a corner at 60 on ice is a bad idea and they do it on the regular. A little fear would help.

Maintenance on my daily driven '64 Landrover was $119 for 2020. A new distributor was under $100, indicator lens - also new - $5. True about the heating and A/C comforts. My Landy doesn't have a roof but that's my choice obviously. In 40 years of ownership, it's had zero pampering, standing in the rain with a tarp over the seats as I write. You are correct that you have to know the vehicle and have some mechanical empathy... yes, including warming them up - same for our '71 Moto Guzzi. Parts pricing for sought-after models is an issue - too often it's a balance between availability and the greed of online hoarders but you Can now keep a classic on the road even after an accident - you just learn to take more care of what you have. Having less safety features is a huge safety feature: I have a centre and passenger seat belts fitted, but firmly believe the driver should not have one - how many kids would be alive today if their drunk driver KNEW that in an accident they were going out the front window? Yeah, the brakes are definitely better today, so I ride accordingly. Not everyone is cut out for classic driving, and that's great too. Enjoyed the vid mate, cheers from Australia.
