JAFFA Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 The other day i was thinking of which my favourite cars were, and i put a few photos up next to each other and: GHEEZ the all look alike, well they all have similar characteristics anyway, this is probably just cos' my brain has settled for one perticular shape but still...creepy... -59 Bonneville... -59 Olds NinetyEight... -58 Continental... Gheez....
Harry P. Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 You think that's bad??? Check out these 3 modern "transportation appliances" from Honda, Toyota and Hyundai. :roll:
Modelmartin Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 People tend to come up with the same solutions to the same problem at the same time around the world!
bobss396 Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 The same goes with women, turn out the lights and they all look the same!
gasman Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 thats proof that the auto manufactures, can never come up with an design of there own, and they never could,
mr moto Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Well, somebody's been comin' up with all those car designs for the last 100 years or so!
Mike Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 You think that's bad??? Check out these 3 modern "transportation appliances" from Honda, Toyota and Hyundai. :roll: The GM Aura, Malibu, and Impala have very similar features. LOL

Billy Kingsley Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 I beleive the Pontiac and Olds share a platform and some parts, which would explain why they look similar, if I am correct. No guarentee I am, that kind of car is not my area of expertise, as they say. I KNOW the three GMs posted from modern times share parts though....
Harry P. Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 I beleive the Pontiac and Olds share a platform and some parts, which would explain why they look similar, if I am correct. Exactly right. GMs full-sized cars from that era were pretty much the same car under the skin, and shared many parts like windshields, doors, etc. What made one car a Pontiac and the other an Olds was mostly how the tinsel was arranged... :wink:
Modellpularn Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 The same goes with women, turn out the lights and they all look the same! You mean, they feel the same.... :wink: :roll:
pettyfan43 Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 thats proof that the auto manufactures, can never come up with an design of there own, and they never could, Oh I'll take a little of that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome...sns¬ag=1 Mopar has always marched to the beat of their own drum! These are but a few examples, from yesterday AND today that prove at least ONE manufacturer is willing to take chances and not build a car that looks like EVERYTHING else on the road! From the original Charger in 66 and 67, The awesome 69 Charger Daytona and 70 Plymouth Superbird. NOBODY but Mopar could have built and sold a car that outlandish! The classic second generation Charger right through to the current generation Ram trucks, not the least of which is a truck powered by a Viper Driveline and is capable of a GOVERNED 155 MPH!
Ramaniac Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 I once saw a Trans-Am and a Camaro both brand new both the same color. If you took off the quarterpanels and hood, the body you would be left with was exactly the same. They just hung different stuff on them.
