Why are classic 4 door sedans "disliked"?

I've heard many people prefer a 2-door over a 4-door when it comes to classic sedans, especially from the 50s/60s period like the Bel Airs, Cadillacs or the Furys. Why is that? Were they more "exclusive" because the 4-doors got built more often? I think it can't be because of "style" because a 4-door '57 Bel Air looks as nice as a 2-door imo. Are there other reasons?


This question comes from a 26 years old so I have no idea if this "trend" might have come up in the 80s/90s or so. I mean, my father for example hates some cars for reasons that were a thing back when he was in my age, thinking of an Opel Manta which mostly was owned by "rowdies" which liked this new "music" called "techno".
