Crashing cars like it's 1968

Aw, man... those were some gorgeous Forward Look-era Mopars in the beginning... I think the black cars with fins are '59 Plymouths, and you see what looks to be a 58 Dodge wagon in the background. Breaks my heart!

It's funny, over and over people will repeat these stereotypes of cars from the 1960s being enormous, overweight tanks... My 1963 Chrysler New Yorker (http://www.63chrysler.com/lit/ChryslerReview.html) is right around the same size as a 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis (http://www.internetautoguide.com/car...s/index.html)- it's just a little longer, lower, and lighter

I think it's the 70's they're thinking of. Complete crap cars. Every American car got bigger & uglier in the 70's.
