I wonder what the neighbors thought back in ‘69

That photo completely skipped 1960 to 1966. There were a lot of changes, stylingwise, in those years that would have eliminated most any of the shock value. .
I don’t think so, people drove a lot less then and the new cars came into neighborhoods a fair bit of time after they were released. I wonder if they said back then the same kinds of things we hear now...about the new cars and their styling vs. the old style body cars that had lived with for a few decades.
