Compare these works of art to the egg shaped neutered appliances of the 21st century.

Don't know about you, but I can't tell one from the other. Styling-wise, it seems to me there are only two basic choices for autos today. One of those lookalike 2 or 4-door sedans you mention, or one of the all-lookalike SUVs.

Reminds me of that old Twilight Zone episode where a girl is being forced to choose between only two body choices for her state-demanded "makeover".

Below are a few good (embarrassing, to say the least) examples of this near total collapse in automotive styling over the years...

First up, the Ford Mustang (1967 vs 1975)

Basically looks like a black taxi cab.
