coachbuilt prams with a modern look

I was talking to a young mother yesterday and the subject came around to modern prams and the advantages of a coachbuilt. The girl (she was only a girl compared to me, being in her 20's) said she loved the coachbuilt prams but "my husband would never be seen walking out with one so old fashioned". I told her it is possible to have them painted in different designs and colours if that would appeal to him, suddenly she seemed keen to get one. Now although I hate to see prams painted gaudily, does it matter if it gets young parents to make a vintage pram the one they choose instead of having their baby scrunched up in a modern pram? I think we now have another convert to coachbuilts, albeit not in the true traditional livery, but it means another pram is being saved. Not only that, but we all know young people are fashion addicts, so it could be that these prams will become very desirable if they are seen as being "trendy" instead of "old fashioned".
