Quote: cause ALL successful car designs had matching front and rear openings..
If you'll notice, the '57's wheel opening edges are the same size, thickness, and have a similar "flow", even though they are not exactly the same front to rear.
Looking at the '73-4's again, it's not so much the shape of the openings (which look mostly symmetrical, save for the height difference) but rather the area around the openings in the quarter panels and fenders- smooth on the fenders, and with a flattened, radiused area on the rear quarter panels. Is it nit-picking? Maybe, maybe not, but it's there, and that may be the reason '74-'74s are even less popular than F-bodies.
Like I said, I still like them, but I'm not sure I will ever love them.
