Funny old world. I once read that the Japanese would only buy cars with ‘happy’ faces! I personally prefer truck cabs with a square Kenworth cabover look, despite owning an Austin 6 wheeler and a Leyland LAD, followed by BMC and Leyland Mastiffs, which were definitely ‘Shaped’.
The fifties and sixties continentals, particularly French and Dutch and even early Scandinavians have too much ‘design’ for me!
But as you say - in the eye of the beholder…
Some of Steve Smith’s cricket shots (he should have been banned for life!) look ungainly, but they do score runs!
And anything that had Gardner or ■■■■■■■ (not the V8) would earn its corn.
