Some used cars in New York can evoke memories of a bygone age because of styling cues or features not found in newer models, and one family is looking to take that retro concept a step further by making a road trip without several modern luxuries.

The Monteiths, including Mom, Dad and four children aged 5 through 9 will attempt to make a road trip through Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey in a van that will not be equipped with a CD player, and without modern road trip accessories like video games or personal music players.

“I have been preparing the kids for the road trips that I grew up taking, which will mean car games instead of game consoles or DVDs,” said mom Vonnette. “They are really excited to experience an old fashioned road trip.”

Once they get midway through, after stops at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania and Philadelphia, the family will switch to a more modern van with various accessories including DVD navigation and an integrated entertainment system to compare the two styles of road trips using new and used cars in New York.
