What ever happened?

You can roll all the windows down in the vent window cars and still carry on a conversation at 60 mph, try that in any new car! How about the old hood ornaments. Outlawed around '68 because some dumbass got hurt when he stepped in front of a moving vehicle, go figure.

I don't think they were outlawed - just went out of style. I've had an 81 and 83 Imperial that both had the "fine crystal" hood ornament.
