Ok, let me put my 2 cents into this,
I began to dislike the looks of cars after 1960. From 1961 on every car looked like a shoe box, every car was rectangular. What happened to all those beautiful curves and flowing lines of the 40's and 50's. It was like all the designers in Detroit had a unified brain fart. Cars became square or rectangular. I think there was some kids that broke in and did some doodleing in the designers room cause they came out with the Mustang and the Stingray, but they haven't changed the basic design since. Today cars are designed by sissy-fied computer geeks. In 1953 you could sit in the back seat of a Buick, stretch out and relax. In today's Buick you have to sit up straight, feet together, and hug your knees...Like a little girl. The front seat is getting just as bad. If you're driving, there's no place to put you're left foot, you have to keep you're knee bent with you're left foot flat on the floor. I think this is one of the major reasons that guys buy pick ups instead of cars. Now the pick ups are starting to look like European sports cars.
I'm more comfortable in my 52 Ford pick up with the window rolled down, than I am in my wifes '07 SUV with A/C and six speaker stereo. My ride has something that new cars will never have...An ash tray!!!
