Were late 50's the pinnacle of automotive design?
Were late 50's the pinnacle of automotive design?
Nicholas Bailey
Brody Lee
Fuck no, one of the low points in automotive design. Only rivaled by the 80's in awful.
Brayden Lewis
These things look fucking ridiculous. Completely overboard with proportions and ornamentation.
Gabriel Long
Shut the fuck up, the 80's were the best of the best
Isaiah Wilson
no
the 90s
Jacob Hughes
Evan James
Some arguments would be nice
Easton Bennett
why didn't we get atomic powered cars like we were promised?
Evan Mitchell
>Get into a crash
>Pic related happens
Dominic Rodriguez
They went full retard with chrome and fins.
Kevin Rivera
Like that's a bad thing
Cameron Brown
Yeah, looks fucking awful.
Angel Price
It probably wouldn't go full nuke (not enough mass for that) but yeah, radiation leakage would be a major concern.
Jose Harris
pinnacle of design comin through
Jacob Perez
This.
James Barnes
It is. Nothing on those cars really goes together. It's just a random collection of fins, chromed openings and bullet shaped stuff in a race to outbid each other on the sheer number of styling elements.
Cars were much straighter and more sober only a few years later, but at least they bore a resemblance of coherence by then.
Aaron Brown
50s, 60s and early 70s for Burger cars, 90s for Japanese ones.
Although some 80s 'muhrican machinery were fairly compelling in their own right.
James Scott
80s and late 50s cars are the best looking cars. Fite me irl
Gavin Rivera
Incorrect.
Jaxon Parker
That's just one year later and already far better than the '59 Cadillac.
Levi Ortiz
if your core starts leaking, just take it to jose's exhaust shop and have him weld it back up
Carson Howard
This looks good. It's like during the late 50's all American cars went ugly then bounces back.
Not gonna fight you just because you like ugly cars.
Christian Cox
Masterful
Joshua Lewis
They look nice with factory wheels. Unfortunately a nig had his way.
Jose Roberts
Those are white boomer wheels from hell.
Landon Stewart
They look good on the Bullit Mustangs though.
Chase Thomas
OH NONONONONO
Samuel Flores
Don't compare 15 inch Torq Thrusts to boomer specials.
Wyatt Collins
It's really the late fifties that look strange. The '54 Bel Air had more reserved styling
Easton Brooks
this
late 90s-early 2000s cars had this weird generic bubbliness like they were trying to make things better/more aerodynamic by removing any edges
Anthony Thomas
people: a hatchback mustang that looks like a fucking compact car hatchback is the gayest thing ever
ford: hold my beers
Nolan Nguyen
>anime poster opinions
John Garcia
Nothing is uglier than the Fox
Joshua Butler
Reeee.
David Jackson
No.
Luis Nguyen
This. We can't even seal oil in properly let alone radiofuckingactive materials
Gabriel Wilson

'58 was pretty much the turning year, where most manufacturers switched to quad headlights on all their models and went batshit with fins and layers and layers of chrome that usually didn't even fit the body style.
Camden Allen
People go nuts over the tri-five Chevrolets but honestly I always thought the 55-57 Buicks and Oldsmobiles looked way more interesting anyway. At this point I'm pretty sure the Chevies are just a self-fueling popular because it's popular thing.
Colton Mitchell
Julian Turner
Fuck, where did everything go so wrong
Logan Rodriguez
Literally kill yourself
Blake Jenkins
Pre-war was. 30s when the chrome was still available.
Chase Hall
Well the first Mustang was small, light, and came with a 4-speed stick.
The 5th and current Mustang are super-dense barges that can't turn and come with flipflop paddle slushboxes.
The ugly design is the least of its problems.
Nicholas Nelson
God I love the w31. Hurst kiddies can suck a dick
Tyler Rodriguez
>80s were the best
>posts one of the ugliest examples from the 80s
jesus.
Jonathan Russell
Can't really argue a subjective issue like appearance.
Zachary Hill
Why would you even doubt it?
Levi Flores
>not the late 60’s
Juan Howard
The 80s were god awful
Asher Bell
Too tryhard.
Lincoln Hernandez
What the fuck does that even mean?
Isaac Morales
awkward > good > good > okay > okay > bad > awful
Alexander Sullivan
how do you go from this..
Andrew Jenkins
to THIS
Daniel Williams
A hooker doesn't need red lipstick to be a hooker, and a muscle car doesn't need scoops, menacing grilles and white letter tires up the ass to be a muscle car.
Luke Powell
That's an economy car, not a muscle car.
Kek, my Mom had one of these when I was growing up. But the answer to your question is fuel economy. GM downsized everything in the 80's.
Matthew Foster
I'd say the 70s, when the oil crisis hit and US car manufacturers we're scrambling for anything to downsize and get into emission regulations.
Jordan Williams
good > alright > ugly > ugly > ugly > ugly > good
Jaxson Powell
GET OFF MY BOARD
Anthony Lewis

Charles Russell
thats not a muscle car
Kayden Gonzalez
>New mustang already turning into a catfish
Sad
Carson Richardson
Design wise
50s>60s>90s>70s>modern day>80s>00s
Daniel Cook
Honestly, the only period of automotive design I really shit on is post-2000. Everything looks comically inflated nowadays, and the less said about the early 00's, the better.
Jordan Adams
i came
Carson Murphy
ohh yeah baby look at these dimensions
