I love those US cars from the 1950s, that you can still see a ton of in Cuba because of the embargo. I realize they're tanks, but they do look incredible. Like why don't they take those sick frames, and mash it / engineer it on a modern car model.

Cause those things are death traps for the inhabitants. Cars look ugly as shit due to safety reasons for the people inside of them and like half of them are actively detrimental to everybody not-in-that-car

They're death traps because they don't have shit like crumple zones, they're asking why don't they just make them look cool but still design them with things like that

I mean where do you design a crumple zone on that green thing in the back. Not a lot to work with

EDIT: Isn't this exactly what they tried with the PT Cruiser?

I ain't an automotive engineer, I just wanna ride around in this.
