I know that old timers say modern cars are ugly but man, every model before the year 1985 was just ugly AF. Seriously. They look at these with rose-colored glasses. Even worse were objects from the 40's or 50's. Those have to be the ugliest vehicles in history!

you need to add another 2 decades to that date lol, you're excluding things like the original stingray and miura




i feel like the 60s was when cars actually started looking like "cars" and not still some derivative of the horse drawn carriage or something
