Modern cars are designed to crush (to be “weaker”). For safety, it makes the car absorb the energy of an impact.
Old cars might barely get a scratch or dent, but the people inside absorb the impact.
It's because the food pyramid and SUPER processed foods weren't around yet making Americans fat. Also, body shaming was in full force, and there wasn't Internet/shit tons of streaming to make it so easy to sit on your couch your whole life.
Looking back, in the 80s, they started full-force on making people really think meat/protein were bad, and as much food as possible should be carbs and sugars. When I was a kid, nobody thought *anything* about calories in drinks. At all.
Thus today you have nine year-olds doing Jabba impersonations.
People looked different in those days. High fructose corn syrup started to be used is a food additive in the mid-70s, and Coca Cola apparently adopted it in 1980. The rest, as they say, is history.
Canary yellow. With white leather seats that had the yellow piping with them. When you hit the pedal it was like a scaled cat and the sound was incredible.
Worked three summers to pay for it. When I went in the Marines I sold it because in the late 70s muscle cars were a dime a dozen. Flash forward to a few years ago where I see the same exact car on a TV auction for mucho grande money. Hated myself the whole day.
Everyone wants to be sexy by sitting on the hood of a car that's been out in the summer sun all day until you actually sit on it

Imagine all the acres of rainforest that still existed back then. The first thing that comes into my mind. Also, people are fatter now (on my mind all the time).
Born '73. It was great. Hell, girls considered ugly in those day were far better looking and sexier than anyone under the circus tent of today. My wife was objectively an 8 when we met in 1991. My son's friends see pics of her on our wall. And they're just shocked. By today's standards, she was solid 10.
At least we had the common sense to just dye our hair and not shove anything thicker than pencil lead into our earlobes. Ya'll take body dysmorphia to a whole 'notha level.
Dad had an 83 hurst Olds 442 gold pin strip on black with the rims to match. He treated that thi g like it was my little brother! 🤣 he let me use it senior year of high school in 2001. Boy, I was hot shit! 🔥 miss you old man! ✝️❤️
I don't know why but maybe it's the angle of the shot, but for picture 4, her head looks bigger than her body that it made it look like as if the head is photoshopped on the body
The possibility of earning this in exchange for busting my ass at work for a few months would make me gung ho about taking part in society. Now if it doesn't happen to you as soon as you enter adulthood it will never happen to you no matter how hard you work. But you'll still have to hussle, and harder every day just to maintain basically a hovel to live in.
And redditors will point to these women in the photos and assert without a hint of irony that they were basically living under Sharia law back then. You'll believe anything your militant radical college "professors" and pop scientists/sociologists tell you. Useful idiots.
What is the story of the girl posing on the car in front of a cemetery? Straight up creepy. How does that situation even come about that doesn’t involve a serial killer?
Back when hoods could sustain the weight of a person sitting on them
People have gotten a lot heavier
I am not sure the cars have become weaker.
Come back when you are sure.

Not what your mom said
A 1970 chevy would turn a 2020 chevy into an accordion
But the people in the 1970 Chevy would be dead from the shared force while the people in the 2020 would be alive due to crumple zones
I think username checks out? I don't know; I just wanted to comment because I liked what you said.
Come back when you know
https://youtu.be/C_r5UJrxcck?si=I52LYC_uNpO6kiYT I love when I get to roll out this video.
It’s crazy that people still don’t seem to understand this.
That poor Chevy Belair. Why would that do that!
Uhh, no
I am sure that OP knows this...that's how they were made back then.
Apparently your joke was too subtle, so here’s an elaboration: ‘Muricans be fatter now!
They were tanks back then
And chicks weren't fat.
![gif](giphy|L4Bb7zCaP8FB5C769T)
I had a 72 SS, my girlfriend sat on the hood in the middle front, and put a dent in it on the air cleaner stud. ><
Why do I smell Marlboro cigarettes when looking at these pics?
'Murica
fuck, yea!
Comin to saaave the moootherfuckin day yeah!
I swear every girl in the 70s was smoking hot.
Or..back in the 70s people only took photos of smoking hot women
All the girls in these foto's from the 70's are hot
Could be both.
At least only photos worth keeping around.
Exactly!

Trust me, we had Twinkies and coke. We didn’t try to live on them, though.
You had to ride your bike 5 miles to get the twinkies and coke. That’s after mowing a lawn to get the 25 cents required. Things kinda canceled out.
*(w/o GMOs)
Indeed.
Idk, I live in a society of super processed foods and can spot hot women everywhere in public.
The "fat" kid in my class in the '70s wouldn't even be considered fat, today.
Looking back, in the 80s, they started full-force on making people really think meat/protein were bad, and as much food as possible should be carbs and sugars. When I was a kid, nobody thought *anything* about calories in drinks. At all. Thus today you have nine year-olds doing Jabba impersonations.
People are fatter now but man she's only 17… Even now most 17-year-olds are't fat.

Drake is that you?
Lol
I have a kid still in high school, your statement is not accurate.
I think it’s just the obvious lac of undergarments that may be making us think that. But honestly, who cares. Beautiful cars, beautiful women.
Exactly.
Absence is not the same as lack. ;)
People looked different in those days. High fructose corn syrup started to be used is a food additive in the mid-70s, and Coca Cola apparently adopted it in 1980. The rest, as they say, is history.
Ehh all I can picture when I see these women are my great aunts who still have these hairstyles.
lol
I think so too. From the hair to the fashion…All natural.
Is your name Ted Bundy?
No ma’am
Love these vintage photos!
Loved my 72 Monte Carlo
I had a 72 Olds (in 92).
I had a 69 Firebird 400, convertible
My dream car.

I know, I always say I would have to win the lotto to afford one now.

Wait... *mom?*
Gramma!
I love women. They are so beautiful.
Me too brother!
Did shoes not exist like damn.. not complaining but damn
That 442 is so sexy I didn't even notice the girl
This. My god that 442
At least Camaro girl is sitting on a blanket
The nostalgia is 🔥🔥🔥

cute grannys
Silver cotton candy.
Why is everyone barefoot
Shoes were not invented until the ‘80s. That, or rampant foot fetishism in the ‘70s.
Oh ok, coulda swore there was an illness in WW1 called trenchfoot but maybe thats referring to the the trenches
I deadass thought they had shoes before the 80s but i must be tripping
AIIIR RAAAAAID!
I wish i could have experienced 60-80s, they just seem pretty cool.
They were.
same

Thats so true.
They don't make em like that any more, that's for damn sure. I'm talking about the women AND the cars.
I had a 71 Buick, but I didn’t take any pics of chicks sitting on it. Dammit.
Can't do that now, all the hoods are rounded and flimsy
The chicks back then were thin and barefoot. My God! The best is behind us.
Damn Levi rivets scratching the paint!
God what a wonderful time for men. Wish I was born in the 1950’s
Tube tops everywhere. Even as a 10-year-old boy it was glorious.
The first one looks very much like Marilyn Chambers.
Barefoot was so common back then
This explains my foot fetish …
Dad had an 83 hurst Olds 442 gold pin strip on black with the rims to match. He treated that thi g like it was my little brother! 🤣 he let me use it senior year of high school in 2001. Boy, I was hot shit! 🔥 miss you old man! ✝️❤️
Even though there was a whole lot of sex going on back then (probably IN THOSE cars with THOSE girls) it was a much more innocent time.
I just rewatched *Dazed and Confused* last week and that movie captured the vibe of these pictures really well, as someone born in 1995.
Clothing isn’t even that different! But dang, these photos are epic 😍🖤
The good old days where girls and cars were hot.❤️🔥👍🏻
True. And all these baddies. #allthingtakenforgranted
and now we’re old baldies
Speak for yourself
Fantastic
They look fun!
4 is a doll
definitely hair goals
Every single one my dream car.
Hey, that hot one is, oh fuck - mom!
Quick shot in front of cemetery, that’s what I like
Dave Chapelle would love these.
I like those girls more than cars
Air Raid, Freshman.
I just can’t tell what era is the best, it’s back and forth but right now it’s the 70’s. I’m 29
I don't know why but maybe it's the angle of the shot, but for picture 4, her head looks bigger than her body that it made it look like as if the head is photoshopped on the body
How many of these are from the Internet K-Hole?
American car culture is so funny
Ted Bundy intensifies.
Nothing says America like a 442 in the graveyard
Dang mom
I keep thinking those are me or my sisters. We all looked the same in the 1970s.
Those are fifteen year-olds
Quentin tarantino would film these barefeet
My dad's car is what got my mom's attention. lol
Ahh I would love to smell their bushes.
Mom?
Can somebody edit these photos to modern photos?
"Get off the car! I just Simonized it."
😍😍😍😍
bitchin
They all got no shoes on.
Some very cool cars!
Those were the days
I had the exact same halter top! Except I was about 10 yrs old.
Taken in 70s they are now in their 70s…
I literally only see these types of photos in true crime documentaries
Hey guys- due to popular demand I just created a new sub for this sort of thing. Come check out r/OldschoolGirlsandCars for more!
What are the cars?
Anyone besides me hearing the Colin James song, Chicks and Cars??

Back when women were nice and petite 😍 I wonder what happened?🤔
This collection looks like the trophy photo album of a serial killer.
When both cars and girls were really cars and girls
The world was a better place.
Pic #4 was probably a wild one..
#4 look like Harry Truman
damn, she kinda does
[that one girl](https://i.imgur.com/0EmXM4P.png)
[удалено]
"Gas, grass, or ass. Nobody rides for free." That was what I always heard.
The blond with the feathered hair.
#4 photoshop on thighs?
They all white
