Because of the expense of redesigning all models every year, the manufacturers took to keeping the inner workings of the cars basically the same and only changing the outward look.
By 1958 some models,such as the 1958 Oldsmobile, were beginning to be called �ugly.¡¯ Some even said it looked like a brick with a hardtop sitting on it. However, the indented chrome on the doors still caught one¡¯s eye of respect.
All systems self-destruct from within. The era of the glamour cars had outdone itself and common sense dictated that what would follow in the 1960s would be based on performance, a concern for the environment, and conservative packaging. During the 1960s people weren¡¯t impressed with external appearances to the exclusion of what existed underneath. This attitude was reflected towards both people and cars. Yet, who will ever forget Elvis? Or the glamour cars of the 1950s?
