I don't understand how American cars looked so good in the late 60s, and by the late 70s, they were some of the ugliest in the world, and have continued with that tradition until now.

Get used to it, there is going to be more ugly American cars on our roads if Ford go down the path they are talking about.

And yet the Chev Monza transformed into an awesome looking (space-framed) race car.

Interesting thought that!

FWD V8 supercars DUH! like that'll work?

They would have to have rolling starts just so the Frauds wouldn't have a half track disadvantage.

I agree with Heath, the American cars looked great in the 60s and early 70s but after that look butt ugly.

Maybe if Ford drop the Falcon, wit the replacemnt they could kick Holden out of V8 supercars, and invite the Camry and Magna in and have the V6 FWD Supercars? :stirpot:

I think these are Leaky's pics?
He did them in a UC tail light thread that got out of control from memory?

The white one is from a different thread, I think the return of the Brock Commodore thread?
