So these guys have a dealership near me, and it got me thinking... How come I can buy a modern motorcycle with GOAT mid-20th-century aesthetics, but not a car with the same?

Well you can still buy the Dodge Challenger or the beetle and they both look good.

>every time a manufacturer tried, it looked like shit, was shit, and sold like shit.

...

Fair enough.

>regulations make it impossible for cars to actually look like they did in the past
Is it actually impossible to build a more safer and fuel efficient version of a '60s land yacht?

The new one looks good with these wheels

You can also post boipucci

...

Because Americans are cukced by federal standards for production cars. Enjoy your mandatory backup cameras starting next year.

And finally, the prime example.

I want to find the place where they get fake classic car bodies for movies so they can crash them.
>inb4 they use real ones
Dont tell me that darkness.

Because no one actually buys new cars that look old. Also those motorcycles aren't old designs, they are completely modern. Pic related 1/2

2/2 THIS is what an indian looks like. If you think that's the same as OP pic you are a tard.

Where did I say it was?

All these motorcycles are just modern motorcycle design. They aren't "mid 20th century" design. The fact you can't see that tells me you don't understand design or design limitation.

I'm not seeing "mid 20th century design" in that quote, bruv.

In the trash it goes

Because women and fags drive cars and not bikes, so bikes are left only for the enthusiasts.

Or because bikes are death traps no matter what so it'd no point in complaining

Because the engine technology is ALSO stuck in the 1940s.

They do.

Aerodynamics and pedestrian safety. Attempts have been made, but they all look complete shit.

They use old ones that look right but don't run, but are fixed up to run just well enough, or hauled on a cable.
Or they just mock it up themselves.

Hell, the Dukes of Hazzard broke a Charger literally in half every time they filmed a jump, because of the lead ballast in the back to counterbalance the fuckhuge engine and stop it nosing in. Literally snapped chassis down the middle.

What are you talking about?
