It's in the eye of the beholder.............
..........but to my eye, 50 years ago the Detroit auto makers were on a roll. As we come to the end of the 2007 model year, I was thinking back on automotive styling. It struck me that in 1957 the then "Big 3", GM, Ford, and Chrysler were in their prime. GM was still working under their long proven theorem of offering a progression of brands to keep a buyer in the family as they moved upscale. Ford was doing well, finally outselling Chevrolet for the first time in a long time. And Chrysler was promoting the "Forward Look", "Suddenly it's 1960", and fins were in!!! Quad headlights began to sneak in to each company. Flash back 50 years to an time when just about every model from these three "biggies" was a styling success.
We'll start with GM.Last edited by Bob Parmenter; 11-09-2007 at 08:44 PM.

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

I wore a camouflage T-shirt once. The response in the pub was "Oooh, it's a floating head!" .
