 Why vintage cars were shaped like that? - movilogo
If we look most cars made between 1930-1960, we see that they had lots of curves! Most had separate mudguards over all 4 wheels. Headlamps were attached separately on body. Engine bay was tapered towards front.

Was this design not difficult to construct using old days technology?

I mean, is it not easier to manufacture mostly straight panels as in cars made from 1970s?
