You may have a good point! I must say, since two decades the 'design' aspect is getting better for most of the objects we create. If this applies to cars, I'm not sure. Indeed, some ice cars are made, but most of them are indeed kind of dull. But, I suppose this has to do with trying to create something a lot of people like, which means that no design can be outspoken. In addition, I guess it also has something to do with the price of a car; Nowdays a car is for everybody; In the past it was for more or less for the rich only.

If you have any photos of cars from the 20s/30s, I'll read your post! :)
