How And Why Did Cars Go From Being Boxy To Curvy?
This great video from Vox shows how and why cars became curvy, having been boxy for years. There's a little more to it than you might expect...
As explained in this great video from Vox, and perhaps as expected, the quest for better fuel economy through more streamlined designs played a big part in the curvy revolution. But, there are more factors at play, such as the rise of computer modeling making curvy vehicle design a hell of a lot easier.
Aerodynamics aside though, there is still something cool about older, boxier cars…
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Boxy vs Curvy… —-> Civil War commences…
the ford “BOX” body HA.
unlike what this bs video says, old 30s and 40s cars have nothing to do with aerodynamics in their design. EVERYTHING was streamlined back then
yeah ‘’boxy’’ cars even though it’s not that boxy
60s knocking on the door
