Cars of the Sixties

The design of cars in the sixties tended to be dictated by the demands of the baby boom generation- gone the sporty numbers of the late fifties. In America, this led cars like to the Ford Falcon, designed to be a low cost family car, and the Ford Mustang, promoted as everyman's Thunderbird sports car.

In Europe the effort to produce small, affordable cars had begun in the fifties and culminated in 1960 with Mini. Meanwhile, the leading edge of European sports cars moved away from open "roadsters" and "spyders" to the slightly more practical sports coupes.
