I get the price competition which has eliminated everything. Prices used to be government controlled and all the same. And TWA in coach had Coq Au Vin with a little folded card describing it. And metal flatware.

Minivan fan also. The Toyota SE you can get right now has 19" wheels, tighter suspension, spiffy upholstery that isn't gray, usually a sunroof, and taillights like aftermarket ones some Asian guy would put on his Corolla.
I was thinking down those lines also. There are a lot of really huge American full sized station wagons. These ('65-'68 Chrysler style) are nice. 10 mpg may be a drawback.
That's because they are 50 feet long and ten feet high. The new generation folds all the seats on top of the floor for easy seat stowing and less cubic feet left for stuff. When you have a live rear axle, there goes the stowage space under the floor you get with a minivan.
The herd of goats isn't because chaos. The chaos is because goats. (Again using incorrect but currently considered clever construction.)
No stitching to annoy. No leather to fall apart - fifty plus years later and still perfect. Just marble plastic that more or less matches the real wood on the dashboard and doors. Chrome horn ring. Gorgeous. Emblem in the middle just like now.
Did everyone know that at least American cars in the olden days (1950's) had the year on the taillight? I think in the rare instance the same lens went past one year it still retained the original year on it. For a mini-geek back then tracing the yearly stylistic changes in American cars was a fascinating hobby. Then…
What does SA/FB mean? Anyway, of course you find the 55-57 Chevy remodelings fascinating. I mean, who wouldn't?
It's about time.
No, this one.
And belying its roots, it all feels very European
Yes. It is also an Opel Insignia.
Maybe they could have one brand called GM and go from basic to luxury.
Quality is about design and management (and I don't mean just top executive level but all the way from top to bottom management and worker structure) not unions. And is the supplier unionized?
Maybe the surround is big to be big, and the insert is where other cars to bonk yours when parking.
Damnit where is the edit function? Please pretend the "It" isn't there.
"And belying its roots, it all feels very European." No, itIt is is not belying its roots by feeling European. Belie means contrast with or prove false. So, just the opposite. You mean attests to its roots.
He said it was more of a drop than he expected.
Well, that's what the pilot said. It sounds like he didn't know about it until they told him.
They didn't use to be that way, but I guess have been for a while.
