Now I'm not saying your car looked bad or was distasteful, I'm just trying to draw a comparison to what people idolize and what people(not necessarily you humfrz) bitch about today.

Ah yes, @
Ashikabi , but the vents on the T/A were functional ......
I scraped this off the Internet ...... so, it must be factual.
"The front fender air extractor, is the vent is located in a depressed area of the housing, in kind of a backward scoop. This design takes advantage of the "Venturi" effect, using air flowing across the air extractor to create a low pressure area, thereby drawing air out of the extractor. This results in something for nothing. High pressure air is given a pathway out of the engine compartment and at speed, a low drag port is molded into the side of the car which naturally aids in air removal."
The vents added at least 10 WHP and 30 MPH to the top speed (more if you had the stickers)............
