this anymore?

1941 Lincoln Continental cabriolet, the picture is a scan from the movie "Shadow of the Thin Man."

The picture below shows the front end treatment of the 1941 Lincoln design.

What I fail to understand is that if we find some of the older styles to still look good, why don't they make them in this style again? If they sold once to one generation, why not later to another generation?? I know that not all "old cars" look good; some were ugly when they were new, just like ugly cars that are made now. It's easier to sell a good-looking car than an ugly one. I know that some cars become ugly with the passage of time and changing tastes, but some cars were ugly the day they were made. On the other hand, there are some cars that people have liked when new, people have always liked, and will continue to like the looks of. These are the ones they could make periodically over time, as repeats. You know the ones, 34 Ford, 36 Ford, 55-56-57 Chevy, etc.
