\nElvis was 6\u20191\u201d. How did he fit his legs in this thing? <\/p>\n

Sometimes I see these cars as a version of the pathetic fallacy. They are cars as psychological projection, and subconscious mirroring, mirroring of the driver – his wants, needs, desires, self-projection, but also mirroring of the atmosphere out there in the world. When the look and the atmosphere of the cars change, it represents a change elsewhere. Outside and inside are not just connected, but the same. In the 70s, there is no more Kandy-Kolored Tangerine Flake Streamline Baby. This isn’t just a design change. It’s a societal change. The ’50s kids are grown up. Look at the steep slant on that hood. No more fins. Sleek, compact, and tough.<\/p>\n

Elvis was – like everyone else – reflective of his time, but he also always looked ahead. He always wanted the newest thing. He loved this shit so much. <\/p>\n
