Back in the day when a car's identity was easily recognized, a far cry from the "cookie cutter" designs inflicted upon us today!

I agree with you 1000%!!! I have to chuckle when the car manufacture's commercials talk about style since their vehicles have none. One manufacturer's box looks just like the next one's!


Very nice photos of those wonderful hood ornaments!!

Then you have the wannabe retro offerings. Modernized versions of things that worked 50 years ago and now don't...

I will hand it to them for these ideas though. No one had tried to recreate the Pacer or the Gremlin. There IS a God and He/She wan't fond of AMC.

There were many works of art in the good ol car days... one could tell at a glance the make and guess the year.... now all look alike. Thank you for the reminiscent photos.

Thanks Dodie, looks like we share the same opinions about today's "cookie cutter" cars.

Thanks for the kind words, everyone! It's only occasionally that I deviate from my whole vehicle compositions to highlight a specific feature of a car.
