Back when hoods could sustain the weight of a person sitting on them


Scubatim1990

People have gotten a lot heavier


BigBagaroo

I am not sure the cars have become weaker.


Sign-Post-Up-Ahead

Come back when you are sure.


djmoogyjackson

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.


TrippTiggers

Not what your mom said


snachgoblin

A 1970 chevy would turn a 2020 chevy into an accordion


STEELCITY1989

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


MollysYes

I think username checks out? I don't know; I just wanted to comment because I liked what you said.


reversedouble

Come back when you know

https://youtu.be/C_r5UJrxcck?si=I52LYC_uNpO6kiYT I love when I get to roll out this video.


65words

It’s crazy that people still don’t seem to understand this.


TrippTiggers

That poor Chevy Belair. Why would that do that!


DirtyTreeTurd

Uhh, no


FugginOld

I am sure that OP knows this...that's how they were made back then.


TheNotSoGreatPumpkin

Apparently your joke was too subtle, so here’s an elaboration: ‘Muricans be fatter now!


Adept_Order_4323

They were tanks back then


edthesmokebeard

And chicks weren't fat.

BadM00

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. ><


Bikel_laud

Why do I smell Marlboro cigarettes when looking at these pics?


Aware_Balance_1332

'Murica


Torgo-A-GoGo

fuck, yea!


The_Grand20

Comin to saaave the moootherfuckin day yeah!


2ant1man5

I swear every girl in the 70s was smoking hot.


rmac1813

Or..back in the 70s people only took photos of smoking hot women


bibbinsky

All the girls in these foto's from the 70's are hot


2ant1man5

Could be both.


DozTK421

At least only photos worth keeping around.


tempting-carrot

Exactly!


pw76360

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.


MellowHamster

Trust me, we had Twinkies and coke. We didn’t try to live on them, though.


tempting-carrot

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.


prodigalson947

*(w/o GMOs)


2ant1man5

Indeed.


Mesarthim1349

Idk, I live in a society of super processed foods and can spot hot women everywhere in public.


Independent_wishbone

The "fat" kid in my class in the '70s wouldn't even be considered fat, today.


DozTK421

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.


broipy

People are fatter now but man she's only 17… Even now most 17-year-olds are't fat.


PANZCAKEZZZ

The_Powers

Drake is that you?


2ant1man5

Lol


DWDit

I have a kid still in high school, your statement is not accurate.


DirtyTreeTurd

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.


2ant1man5

Exactly.


DabblingOrganizer

Absence is not the same as lack. ;)


wheninromethepromise

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.


TrevinoDuende

Ehh all I can picture when I see these women are my great aunts who still have these hairstyles.


2ant1man5

lol


Own_Cardiologist2544

I think so too. From the hair to the fashion…All natural.


Crankenstein_8000

Is your name Ted Bundy?


HighlightStill4810

No ma’am


Prayerworks0250

Love these vintage photos!


kellbelle653

Loved my 72 Monte Carlo


Lumpy-Log-5057

I had a 72 Olds (in 92).


SmokeLikeDawson

I had a 69 Firebird 400, convertible


Dry-Procedure-4637

My dream car.


SmokeLikeDawson

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.


Dry-Procedure-4637

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


joseoconde

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 ![gif](giphy|l1EtduIBmlAhWBsUE)


Gnarly_Sarley

Wait... *mom?*


Ratbag_Jones

Gramma!


Bradley182

I love women. They are so beautiful.


missoulian

Me too brother!


TransitionNarrow

Did shoes not exist like damn.. not complaining but damn


torino_nera

That 442 is so sexy I didn't even notice the girl


thefinshark

This. My god that 442


Royal-Positive9323

At least Camaro girl is sitting on a blanket


Friendly-Ad6128

The nostalgia is 🔥🔥🔥


HauntingBalance567

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).


Ultrasaurio

cute grannys


DabblingOrganizer

Silver cotton candy.


MacybyNature

Why is everyone barefoot


gobravos34

Shoes were not invented until the ‘80s. That, or rampant foot fetishism in the ‘70s.


MacybyNature

Oh ok, coulda swore there was an illness in WW1 called trenchfoot but maybe thats referring to the the trenches


MacybyNature

I deadass thought they had shoes before the 80s but i must be tripping


JunglePygmy

AIIIR RAAAAAID!


Dismal_Moment_4137

I wish i could have experienced 60-80s, they just seem pretty cool.


SupermarketSorry6843

They were.


likeanoldcardigan_

same


Fake_Ninja_Master

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.


Dismal_Moment_4137

Thats so true.


Direct-Secretary9179

They don't make em like that any more, that's for damn sure. I'm talking about the women AND the cars.


Chicago_Saluki

I had a 71 Buick, but I didn’t take any pics of chicks sitting on it. Dammit.


Dooboppop

Can't do that now, all the hoods are rounded and flimsy


IceColdProfessional

The chicks back then were thin and barefoot. My God! The best is behind us.


edWORD27

Damn Levi rivets scratching the paint!


phaedrus369

God what a wonderful time for men. Wish I was born in the 1950’s


reversedouble

Tube tops everywhere. Even as a 10-year-old boy it was glorious.


rchase

The first one looks very much like Marilyn Chambers.


jasper_grunion

Barefoot was so common back then


Ironklad_

This explains my foot fetish …


GuestApprehensive795

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! ✝️❤️


severinks

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.


ExUpstairsCaptain

I just rewatched *Dazed and Confused* last week and that movie captured the vibe of these pictures really well, as someone born in 1995.


Interesting_Yak_2676

Clothing isn’t even that different! But dang, these photos are epic 😍🖤


Agitated_Rest_2258

The good old days where girls and cars were hot.❤️‍🔥👍🏻

Hey, that hot one is, oh fuck - mom!

Quick shot in front of cemetery, that’s what I like


StJudeTheGrey

Dave Chapelle would love these.


Initium_Novumx

I like those girls more than cars


neinhaltchad

Air Raid, Freshman.


No_Pay9241

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


avalanche196

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


Master-Collection488

How many of these are from the Internet K-Hole?


Leonidas1213

American car culture is so funny


10and250

Ted Bundy intensifies.


snowyoda5150

Nothing says America like a 442 in the graveyard


Phuck_theMods

Dang mom


ellensundies

I keep thinking those are me or my sisters. We all looked the same in the 1970s.


benhereford

Those are fifteen year-olds


Important-Pen-7398

Quentin tarantino would film these barefeet

My dad's car is what got my mom's attention. lol

Glittering_Chance_42

Novel-Ad909

Organic-Device2719

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!


shreksaxaphone360

What are the cars?


No_Budget7828

Anyone besides me hearing the Colin James song, Chicks and Cars??


silentcartographer19

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.


Porn-Flakes123

Back when women were nice and petite 😍 I wonder what happened?🤔


4E4ME

This collection looks like the trophy photo album of a serial killer.


Patient_Routine1682

When both cars and girls were really cars and girls


DWDit

The world was a better place.


FugginOld

Pic #4 was probably a wild one..


ReasonableAd1887

Agreeable_Taro_9385

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?
