I think they look great.
The '60-'64 are a little quirky because they're older, but that gives them character.






Starting in '65 they look sportier. I prefer these to the '64.


'66 seems basically the same.


even the 'verts look decent
'67


I'm not sure what, if anything, changed on the outward appearance after '66.
'68


'69
