I was a kid in the 70s, but even at that tender age I thought the synthetic substitutes looked like shit. They didn’t look “new and modern”, they looked cheap and like someone was trying to make do with the economical alternative. So don’t be fooled by the brochures. We weren’t.

They didn’t have to appeal to everyone. I don’t think it’s much different from the novelty of “clear acrylic” telephones. What I really don’t get is how anyone would want this station wagons with the fake wood paneling and obtrusive fake trim on things like the Chevy fleetmaster. But I think it’s just one of those incomprehensible fads.
