Cringe...
I'd have replied nah, folks were riding buggies in the 1890's!
Some of my least favorite periods for cars of every make is the ~49-54 models that came once most makers finally ditched their pre-war designs. Most cars then if you removed all the chrome changed the grille and the lights and removed the extra bars in the middle of the front and side windows would be darn hard to distinguish from a 1990's car...
Many of the 62+ model cars also were kinda plain and boxy like 80's cars just with differences in chrome grille and lights.
There were some exceptions in both eras, but that has been my generalization for a while.
The finned era cars of the late 50's and the pre-war body styles (that got warmed over for a few years post-war) feel like the only cars not to have the same boring lines kept in cars of my time (as a child of the early 90's I saw plenty of 80's beaters still crawling the roads).
