<VV> Beautiful cars of the auto world also defy explanation

The late models may be more "beautiful" (in a very different way) than 
earlies, but that doesn't mean the earlies weren't.

Earlies just have a "classic" look to them, like a 32 Ford "Deuce" coupe or 
the like.  Classic, straight lines that I think were always a very clean, 
(to repeat myself) classic car, even when new.

I've said this before too, that the late model was not so much "classic" but 
beautiful car, and, while the earlies looked "classic" even when new, the 
late model looks modern, even now, 40 years later.

Both designs stand the test of time rather well if you ask me.
