  1. Look at the 1956 Plymouth , Chevy and Ford cars in the USA. they are all very similar.

  2. And Kia / Hyundai having the tail lights and turn signals separated by a foot or so. Another issue are turn signals inside the headlights, this leads to washed out turn signals / weak visible light as the entire lens does not light up like a separate turn signal.

  3.  @alan-sk7ky  There are some cars in the USA that turn off the day time running light when a turn signal is operated. I haven't seen any yet that turn off the headlight. Turning off the headlight might be an issue if the opposite headlight has failed.

  4. I'd counter this with the 1956 Plymouth , Chevy and Ford all looking very similar.

  5.  @jetsons101  The 55 ( mini fins ) / 56 ( larger fins ) Plymouth had wrap around windshields so the A pillar was more like a backwards L. If one knows what to look for the Ply / Chev / Ford have detail differences but the side profile is pretty much the same. In another thread someone brought up the 56 Packard. If a car looks too different for the times , it won't sell or is called a loser and it is patently unfair to hammer auto makers when they take a risk. See the Chrysler Air Flow where few trusted cars that were not square / PT Cruiser / Pontiac Aztec < interesting that the Pontiac Vibe sold well even though it was a mini Aztec. The AMC Gremlin sold well oddly enough but I think this was down to it being a small car in the traditional sense compared to a Japanese car.

  6.  @SomeOne_86  Please define Horrible to drive. Bad as in compared to other cars of that era or bad to drive compares to cars from say 30 years ago?

  7.  @duckrutt  The PT only shares a few front suspension bits with the Neon. The PT ( Plymouth Truck as it was an evolution of the Plymouth Pronto concept car) it is classified as a multi use vehicle due to removable rear seats and flat load floor. The 2.4 16 valve engine was an evolution of the 2.2 / 2.5 from the K car. They are not bad cars but are designed to a price point as a way to bump up truck fuel economy averages.

  8.  @Jack_Russell_Brown  Yep on the Packard. Also look at the mid 60's Ford Galaxy / Plymouth with stacked round headlights.

  9. That era S class also was very similar to a Cadillac model.
