It makes zero difference to me what type of vehicle they drive. When we built our home a couple of the contractors had "bubba buggies", jacked up pickups with lots of fancy chrome. They were selected as contractors because they did good work, not because they like to drive a specific type of truck.

I would have assumed you'd know that asphalt shingle roofs have a finite life span. Some homes have 20 year shingles, some shingles are 50 year shingles. So when building a new home or evaluating a preexisting home, the type of shingle would be important. A home with 20 year shingles will probably need a new roof in 20 years or less. A home (new or old) that has a higher quality, 50 year shingle will likely go significantly longer before it needs replaced.
The same holds true for your "antique" home or my "newer" home. And yes, my home has 50 year shingles on it. And at nearly 20 years old, the shingles are still in perfect shape. Barring a hail or wind event, I don't expect to ever need to get them replaced in my lifetime.
