Good stuff!

Well, there you have it. PROOF that cars were not more solid / better built in the 'old days' (something I get sick of hearing from older folk)

Of all the oldies I thought the back end of the 59 was so ugly it was almost beautiful.
And I was driven to elementary school in one.

Quite the improvement over 50 years.
