They say form should follow function. Well, apparently General Motors of 1958 did not agree. The design of this Oldsmobile suggests they asked ten people where they should bolt chrome pieces from a Buck Rogers spaceship onto the car, then they accepted all ten suggestions.
Almost everything about GM's 1958 cars were unique to that year. Despite the designs being all-new for '58, GM immediately decided to scrap them and copy Chrysler's "Forward Look" cars. Those cars, lead by the '57 Plymouth, were lower, slimmer, and somewhat less tarted-up with a lot of ridiculous chrome doo-dads.
