Cars were much more stylish back in yesteryear.

Agreed. Why do you think they are not made like that anymore?

@XenonRush Mass production, means cheaper materials and lower build quality. Also Aerodynamics, speed and fuel efficiency. Things they didn't know of back then that are morphing the cars shape so you can no longer tell the difference between car makes.

@Thevy29 Cars were a different thing back then. In terms of status.. And in terms of how many months wages it took to buy one...😷
