Does anyone else think that cars made in the '80's were really ugly? Good, but not realistic movie. Very entertaining.
shareIt's really strange because if you grew up in the 80s they somehow seemed "modern" at the time. Of course the 70s cars were awful in their own way, heavy and tank-like so they seemed like an improvement. Nobody thought they were better than 50s/60s cars but the tradeoff (supposedly) was efficiency. The cars from the 90s and beyond got much better.
shareYeah but the 50's gave us the 57 Bel Air, the 56 Thunderbird and a whole host of other beautiful cars.
shareI grew up in the eighties, and yeah, they seemed sleek and sexy compared to the boats that came before them.
shareI remember new cars that seemed very modern at the time of their release:
Ford Taurus
Ford Aerostar
Ford EXP
Chevrolet Lumina APV
Dodge/Chrysler Mini-Van
Pontiac Fiero
redesigned notes: Ford Thunderbird. Chevrolet Camaro. Pontiac Firebird/Trans Am. Toyota Supra.
That's just to name a few. Seemed highly modern and ushering in a new wave of modern style. At least those are the ones I remember.
