They did stop making cars that could be considered in any way stylish or beautiful.  It doesn&#x27;t help that modern cars are almost impossible to work on for anything but trivial repairs, now that they are so complex and computerized.  In high school, I drove an old beater of a &#x27;85 F150, which was almost completely electro-mechanical.  With a little know-how, a high-lift jack, and a basic set of mechanics tools, you could take the entire thing apart to the frame and put it back together.  Many modern cars, you can&#x27;t even change the oil without taking it to a garage with factory certified technicians.  My &#x27;07 F150, you can&#x27;t even change the spark plugs without taking half the engine apart, and then you need to have the proprietary computer system to re-calibrate the electronic timing.
