Were early A bodies built better than the 67-76 models?

I think as far as trim and fanciness goes, it was a sign of the times. All cars in the late 50s up to mid 60s had lots of trim and detail. Even cheaper models had more trim than 70s cars. Manufacturers got away from the frills and shine for a more streamlined look. Look at most cars now, no chrome! For example, compare a 70 Challenger to a 2019. No trim, no bright work, no window moldings. Maybe chrome and moldings will make a come back but probably not. As far as structural integrity goes, I’d say they are all similar.
