Why did cars from the 60s look so sleek?
One of the most distinctive things about the design of classic 60s cars is that they tended to look incredibly sleek, like they just rolled off the racetrack, or out of a Bond film. Well, that actually comes from the incredible popularity of racing as a sport in the 60s. Both stock car racing and drag racing were having something of a heyday back then, and many car buyers of the time had fantasies of being racecar drivers. So auto designers took heed and made cars that looked like they were designed for racing. This is also where the whole muscle car fad came from. Buyers also wanted cars that performed like racecars, so manufacturers started cramming enormous engines into lightweight, small- to mid-sized bodies, resulting in overpowered vehicles that could go from 0 to 60 in nothing flat but burned through gas like it was going out of style.
