Yeah bitch

Are you a boomer?

Some American cars like this one are just so damn ugly.

Especially when compared to European cars of the same time.

Also Japan took cues from the US in the 70s as well, look at the first Gen Celica, especially the fastback. It's a stellar design that blends cues from both.

yeah but american car design went downhill post 1972

>>17339747
Technically it already went downhill in 1957 and then only sobered up for its own good in the early '60s. Fins and excessive chrome trim were a mistake.

>>17339744
Uh anon, they sold those here in Buick Dealerships back in the 70s.

We did have those. They even has a small cult following over here and were kind of liked back in the day because they reminded people of tiny C3's, but other sports cars (namely the Z and some brit stuff) began overshadowing them.

That's because Nader didn't even harp on it spinning from what I remember, it was how it held up in a crash. The Rear engine and older suspention (not that it was worse than any other american car at the time) with the potential to spin out is what made it such a good scape goat to point out flaws in the industry.

Basically nader's a shithead.
