When I first started hot rodding in the '60s a car with a "rake" was tail high, than the gasser era brought in the nose high attitude for weight transfer and everyone wanted a street car that was nose high. I bought a '57 Oldsmobile 88 in the mid-60's that had spacers in the front coil springs and lowering blocks on the rear leaf springs! It would drag the rear bumper on a railroad track! Took me about three days to take that crap off and make it look and ride the way it was supposed to!
The pinnacle of automotive fashion. Millions of real car guys eagerly await the demise of the black wheels, large diameter wheels/ultra low profile tires, and all four corners lowered "stance" fads.
