<VV> 1941 Chrysler Thunderbolt NOT Thunderbird (still no Corvair)

Obviously, I can't speak for Smitty but I don't think he meant to type  
"Thunderbird" but was addressing the thread regarding that 1941 Chrysler  
Thunderbolt.  AND, IMHO, while he may have erred in typing "Thunderbird",  he 
was, as they said back in the days when $100 used Corvairs were common,  "right 
on" about that 1941 Chrysler Thunderbolt being unattractive.  Forget  the 
lightning bolt on the door, the whole car lacks proportion.  And that  color 
is just plain hideous, especially against the other shade of green in the  
upholstery!  YECCHHH!  Interesting--maybe; Beautiful?  Definitely  not!
 
<Smitty Says; The Thunderbird is a bloated lump with all the styling of  an 
inverted claw foot bathtub. Even the lightning bolt on the door is  
stylistically bland and lacks proportion. You guys been admiring the  
emperor's new clothes too long.>
 
So why are we now dragging the Thunderbird into this off-topic discussion  
over what seems apparently to have been a typo?!  Sheesh!
