My take on this is:
- Post war cars lacked style. Boring.
- Mid-50s they got decent
- Late-50s to early-60s it was "What were they thinking?" Ugly and way over styled.
- Mid-60s into the early-70s they were good looking.
- Nothing holds a candle to GM styling through the years and across the board.
- Other companies made a good looking one here and there.
