Three beautiful examples. The only hideous Mustang is the awful Mk 2, which nearly destroyed the band. Oh and the one my wife had. But she replaced it with a 4 litre Jeep Wrangler Sahara so that was OK.Fender Stratocaster vs Telecaster.
While I know many guitar players who like both I've always felt the Tele looks like an unfinished Strat.
Just need to have it sitting on the back seat of a 68 Mustang
Agree with both. The 2CV has good proportions, the Volvo is shaped (and drives like) a brick.Isn't it primarily in the eye of the beholder though?
To many people, the old 2CV was plug-ugly, but I fell totally in love with its relaxed curves and whole retro vibe:

Whereas to me, the ugliest and most unlikeable car I've ever owned was a Volvo 244, which I only bought because a FOAF was offering it very cheap.
Very heavy fuel consumption and utterly charmless.

Interesting things certainly emerge, especially around wheel diameter and headstock position, when you superimpose a golden ratio overlay on a picture of a Norton ES2, centring it as best you can on the front and rear wheel spindles (bearing in mind that the bike was not exactly side on in the photo)...
Add some rain and a bit of smog and it's straight out out the retro-fitted structures of Blade Runner....I wonder what Charles Fort would have made of the Hearst Tower?
The original building dates from the 1920s when Fort lived in the area, but then in 2006 the contemporary design of Norman Foster was added.

I've met a surprising number of lead guitarists that stick up for the Telecaster - I'd have thought the Strat beat it hands down in all respects, but what do I know? I'm only a bassist.
Leather handle? Nice.l love a good knife. To me, the most beautiful example l’ve seen is the Randall Model 1-7 fighting knife:
There’s something about those proportions, those curves, those grind lines, that just announces - though this is a decades-old design - that it was done right the first time.

Its a nice knife but what if you want a practical one?
lt was originally intended for killing people. For that, it’s (apparently) very practical!
