[QUOTE=Henry Rifle]From the early '70s on for more than 20 years, there wasn't a car out there that I really wanted. It got worse when they went to the "Eurobox" styling.

Amen Jack. I honestly can't tell one new car from another today, yet I can see an old car and immediately probably tell you the make, model, and year. Nowadays a Lexus looks like a Chevy that looks like a Ford.

Remember when the unveiling of the new model year cars was a big deal? Families would actually go to the dealers in anticipation of what Detroit had turned out that year. I worked at a Ford Dealership in 1963-64, and when the trailer truck pulled in with the new MUSTANGS on it people crowded around as if the second coming had just happened. They were actually fighting to get a spot in line or to buy one.

Thanks for the cool pictures Bob, I even enjoyed the less stylish ones. ........or to be politically correct, "cosmetically challenged."
