Since 1958 for Chevy and 1952 for Ford I've noticed a theme. Since '58 all top-of-the-line Chevys have had either three-in-a-row horizontally or horizontal bar tail-lights. Think about it. You'll see I'm right. Also from '52 Ford has had predominantly single large round or large vertical rectangles for tail-lights. My question is this: Was this a design directive from the 'front office' or is it just coincidence? The tail-light design differences have pretty much disappeared in the past decade. Sadly most of what comes out of the designers' CAD programs now days is cookie-cutter ho-hum look-alike crap from a purely aesthetic view-point. Come on designers. Can't you build 'slippery' fuel efficient cars without them all looking the same?
Is there a design edict behind Ford's and Chevrolet's tail-light styles?
