"coke-bottle styling" ... I almost forgot what that mean. thank goodness for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coke_bottle_styling
Quote:Coke bottle styling is an automotive body design with a narrow center surrounded by flaring fenders[1] which bears a general resemblance to a Coca-Cola classic glass contour bottle design.
Industrial designer Raymond Loewy pioneered Coke bottle styling in automobiles with the arresting 1962 Studebaker Avanti
...a slight wasp-waist constriction at the doors which swelled out again in the rear quarters
1977 Datsun 180B GL sedan in a perspective that highlights the 'Coke bottle' style
and the 1970 Datsun Sunny
i never consciously noticed the slight wasp-waist and fender swelling until now
on the other hand the swelling on the 2-door sedan kinda bothers me. maybe the primary reason it looks homely
is it the same "hop-up" that the coupe has?
it looks better with a pinstripe
