Postcars

Cars from the 60s had more soul than anything sold today. Agree?

Chrome, curves, a radio with two knobs and a bench seat for three. You could fix most of it with a wrench and a Saturday. Today it's grey crossovers with a screen where the dashboard used to be. Was it really better back then, or is that just nostalgia talking?

Sunday drive, no lane assist, no problem

A face you could pick out of a parking lot

Fins, chrome and a cruise down the boulevard

Small, British and happiest on a back road

Red, loud and proud of it

Built when muscle meant a big engine, not a big screen

Low, long and sitting on chrome

Roof down, hair everywhere

Showroom row, all of them looking back at you

That curve took a guy with a hammer

Tail fins: nobody needed them, everybody wanted them

Even the back end was a show

Thin wheel, bench seat, room for three

A speedometer you actually read

Knobs. Real knobs.

One tail light, and it is a design

Twin headlights stacked like jewelry

The grille that smiled back

Small, round and perfect

Car show Saturday, hoods up

Sunday drive, no lane assist, no problem
