Great post, I remember when most of these cars were in daily use here in the US. It is remarkable how distinctively they were styled, I had no trouble identifying various makes. Contrast that with the boring similarity of all the current rice buckets, no matter how costly or cheap. They all share a big dose of ugly!
That is so true. My car looks like every other silver car in the parking lot. I laughed at my grandson when he told me about getting in a car parked next to mine and trying to start it. He got the last laugh. At a filling station he always uses the same pump. I had gone in to get a loaf of bread, came back out and started to get in the car parked at that pump. I'm standing there saying to myself "This is not my car", when I hear him laughing at me.
