Another sign of how the general public looks at airplanes like cars. If a car that old would have antique plates on it, then surely the plane must be vintage as well.

http://triblocal.com/naperville/2010/10/08/conditon-of-pilot-and-wife-upgraded-to-fair/The condition of a pilot and his wife who were hospitalized after their plane crashed into a Naperville fitness center is improving, Edward Hospital officials said Friday.
Hospital spokesman Keith Hartenberger said Lloyd McKee, 66, and his wife, Maureen McKee, 63, both have been upgraded from serious to fair condition, though he declined to say when they may be released.
They was headed for Pittsburgh, but the plane, a Piper PA-32R-300, failed to get enough elevation and slammed shortly after takeoff Wednesday into a raised tower on the southwest corner of the XSport Fitness, near 75th Street and Route 59.
