GM used to have a car design contest. They had about 90% of the junior high school males making little wooden cars fifty years ago. That was when style ruled.

You're right, I had forgotten about that. Some very neat looking models came of that.

Most of our models looked like blocks of wood with wheels. Strangely, most of the 60s GM cars subsequently also looked like blocks of wood with wheels.
