The end of 'Bricks on Wheels'

“Nothing like the TR7 had been seen before. And it did prove to be the shape of things to come, because within a few years almost every production automobile on earth displayed the same rakish, sloping profile. Almost all still do todayâ€￾.

I've told the story many times about the young fella at the local beer distributor that thought my TR8 was some new model car. Most people in the collector car market want old. I think the advanced styling hurts our cars value for this reason.
I enjoyed the reference to Andy Warhol as he was a Pittsburgh native, Pittsburgh being about 30 miles from where I live. I've been to the museum they have for him. A talented yet eccentric person for sure. Maybe a bit ahead of his time, much the same as our cars.
