  1. Vehicle body styles had more personality than those today. Note how the hood is contoured around the engine on the sides. The bumper and grille more thought out. Vehicles today are far more flatter in shape

  2. Stylists were once motivated by creativity. Increasingly, design is governed by which design blows smoke to suit EPA/DOT wind tunnel tests. Ironically, today's model lineup pretty much resemble peas-in-a-pod.

    1. Last October, I bought a Ford Focus. Now that I have one, I have noticed that every car looks like a Focus.

  3. ...speaking of Chrysler Corporation products, '56 Chrysler 300 is easily one of the most beautiful automobiles ever produced. A "Hot Shoes" dream on the road too!

  4. Beautiful design. Today we get...the Prius, with it's snooty SJW emblem and ugly form.

  6. I believe the gold v on the grill signifies hemi power. Red ram, oh yeah.
