It particularly interesting that certain years produced the best automobiles across continental and corporate divides. For instance, in 1957 most of the cars were gorgeous. In 1961, the same thing happened again, with American, Italian, and German cars all exhibiting the same beautiful traits.
When you look back at the great cars of the past, it really hits you just how sad and pathetic the state of modern automobile design really is. Back then, our parents and grandparents bought gorgeously designed, all-metal cars with solid frames, strong engines, and luxuriously designed all-leather interiors for less money than we spend on a computer today. Now, we’re somehow expected to pony up upwards of 20 or 30 thousand dollars for a piece of ugly junk from Asia with a cheap vinyl and plastic interior, an ugly plastic body, a weak frame, and a pathetic engine. It’s downright insulting! For those of us with taste in cars, there are still some companies producing great cars, but these companies are increasingly fewer and farther between. We have two choices as a generation — produce better cars, or be consigned to buying old ones if we want quality.
