I actually rather like the look of that. It looks a bit mean, but quite smart too.

Yet only chavs seem to own them..

So, you are saying that Americans in the 1950s were chavs then?

No, they seemed to be able to read and write.
Hell - they even went to school!!

My comment was simple. Ostentatious car design is nothing new - it was the hallmark of the 50s American car industry.

You maintain the only reason for it is NuLabour and chavs.

I was pointing out that you were an idiot for holding such a view

HTH.

No it doesn't help really. Ostentatious design is one thing, the 50s cars were made in the era of Dan Dare and the space missions getting started, sputnik being launched etc. The cars were futuristic - styled like aeroplanes and space ships.

Todays chav. wagons are styled like cheap plastic imported children's toys with big wheels for the average toddler to manage.

Can you therefore see why the 50s cars look cool and the modern chavwagon looks st?
