Tacky or kitsch are the words in these kind of situations.  |
I disagree.
I drive a Prowler. Which is a modern car designed to look like an old hot rod.
I love the way it looks and everywhere I go people want to come over and talk about it and little kids come running to see it.
Some car designs are "timeless". I'd much rather drive one of the new Mustangs that look like a Mach 1 than to drive one of the "box" versions that came just before it.
I love big curves on a car and aggressive styling...and some of those classic cars had it perfected by some of the best coach design people in the business.
Obviously I'm not alone in my love of the way that classic cars looked. The sales numbers for the "new" versions of the muscle cars pretty much speak for themselves.
