I think designers wanted to make cool cars that looked cool first, were practical second, and were safe if possible. I think the designs even before 55 were wicked also. 32 ford for example. Now engineers have to work backwards from a wind tunnel and mpg and safety standards and gussy it up if possible. The new mustang and challenger are cool, but I see your point and agree. Most cars now are not even close to being good looking. Too bad. The sad thing is that a 65 mustang with a four barrel carb can get 26 plus mpg and it didnt have all of the amazing modern advancements. Why can’t a modern computer controlled car get twice that? And maybe be half as cool.
