What ever hapened to wing windows, crome bumpers, drip rails, bench seats,ect? Why did the auto companys stop putting these things on there car's? Dose any one miss these things? or is it just me?
lol then you haven't changed one often I can do one in about 10 minutes lolChrome bumpers are heavy, expensive and a lot harder to style than a plastic cover. And I can change a plastic bumper cover in about 5 minutes.

how about the sign of the times today. remember when 2 door cars ruled? 4 doors were family cars, you know ma and pa. station wagons were for the big family and grownups. get caught driving one around and you never heard the end of it. "take your mamas car home". now everything is a 4 door almost, and 2 doors are out of the norm. wagons are gone for the most part, but i feel they will return. i personally like them and would drive one today. mini vans are dying a slow death now as well. when chrome bumpers and trim left so did the real styling of all of the cars. now companies try to incorperate fake chrome pastic pieces to make the cars more appealing....a sign of the times
i love my wing windows, drip rails ,i love my ashtray and lighter too. The fact that there are NO cup holders (save the glovebox door) make it a real car. Chrome bumpers are great too as are steel used to make dash's and metal seat belt buckles. New cars are little pigs now, laiden down with gagets,poor quality plastics etc. So my /6 wagon gets low 20's mpg city, and a little 2500 lb focus that i have gets WORSE mpg around town (18) . Truly sad, american car companys deserve the trouble they are in! Shoot the new "hemi's" are not hemi's at all , go figure.
I miss chrome bumpers mostly, I prefer the clean look of side glass without the vent windows, that and they often whistle. Drip rails are certainly practical but again it's not as clean a look
yes they were pretty cool as were the Warlock trucks. There are a few out there but the are not jeep!!
LMFAO!Now a days it is ok to be gay, but not a smoker. Go figuer that one LOL.
