Lines Maketh A Cool Car

By Mark Weisseg

I love lines. Except standing in them. The lines of a woman, the lines of a car, the lines of a bullet train and so on.

This picture is all about fast muscle car lines. Lines, lines, everywhere lines. The swoop, they flow, and they make a statement. Who wants a box on wheels? Most of us fast muscle car guys and gals want sweeping lines. Something that looks cool. Don’t believe me yet? Look at some old style front grills. The 32 Ford Grill or the 34 Plymouth. There are endless examples of grills, bodies and other structures that are sleek and futuristic.

The reason why classic vehicles are still revered is because of their unique lines compared to modern vehicles. Yes, modern cars are more aerodynamic, but also more homogenized. They do have sleek lines, but not as individual and unique as the cars of old. Resto mods, pro tourers and hot rods are still being built today from the classics as the lines and shapes are so distinctive.

Yes, we honor our classics such as the Camaro and Mustang. What made just these two examples so popular? Lines. Follow the lines. Why did a Corvette succeed and a Edsel Fail? Well, the Edsel was the toaster on wheels a bit ahead of its time while the Corvette used sleek lines to make a statement. Don’t you just love a car that looks fast while sitting? I do. Thank the lines.
