No, no, no, no... Ken, my '67 begs to differ. Also, my '64, rest its soul.
The sixties styling is the best. The "Z" trim is OK, except that it lends a
"mismatch" quality to the B series, like the top was set down on the bottom
of another vehicle. The later lines don't look *droopy*; they look
streamlined compared to the blockiness of the B. The sixties T'Alls are
sleek, yet strong. Wasp-like, yet solid. They look like they were built to
go fast, uphill, carrying load. They are, in a word, BEAUTIFUL.
