I'm just going to jump in here on the OP's question. I was watching a video (Ford Engine In a '67 Chevy II) on YT last night. There were quite a few other cars in the video, which took place at a strip. I noticed there were a lot of cars with tinted windows and colored headlights, which made me...

Nice seats! :)

I don't know, but I hope it ends pretty soon. :(

IMO, there's nothing wrong with a single color paint job. That was the era, late fifties and early sixties, of two tone paint, but there were a lot of cars built during that era, by all of the "Big Three", that came out of the factory with single color paint. Besides, the black Fury in the pic...

Yeah, :laughing7: The Aztec looks like the result of a Prius having a one night stand with an SUV! :) The Aztec did come first though. (late '90's?)

The last traces of vertical tailfins???

Actually, for me anyway, newer cars like this one and others with similar strange looking styling have made me more accepting of some of the odd looking styles from way back in the day. I remember, as a teenager, my buddies and myself weren't interested in a lot of cars from the fin era because...

There ere some very beautiful finned cars built during that era. Some of them I am actually seeing for the first time, in pictures, and occasionally at cruise nights. For example, I have never seen one of these on the streets. I'm lovin' the hardtop wagon.

LOL! I've never seen the inside of the trunk of one of these but, I doubt if there's a tire up there. I would think it would have to be in the deck lid and that would make the lid too heavy to open for most people. :)

The thing that I didn't like about some cars with fins was that the fins appeared to have been put there just so the car could have them. To me, they didn't really look like they belonged on the car. I like fins when they actually flow from the style of the body, from the lines. Like this...

I actually liked those roof designs on the fullsize GMs. IIRC, only the 4-door hardtops got that roofline.

I agree that cars today are pretty generic looking. The only places that the designers can play with style are the shape of the grilles, headlights and tail lights. Other than that, the bodies of cars from all manufacturers appear virtually identical, except for the position of a line or two...

They could have made the rear edge basically flush with the glass, I suppose. The roof would still have had to extend almost as far anyway. On that Mercury, the glass wraps around to form the part of the c-pillars that would be metal on cars built a few years later. I remember seeing Buicks...

Too much, in my opinion. :):):):):) Sorry guys! :) Some weren't necessarily too much but, just didn't look right.

Everyone has their own likes and dislikes. I did think that some designers had gone too far with their tailfins. To me, these were tastefully done. I'm not sure if these could be called fins but, I like them.
