Thank you; I have no idea where I got the 'Mc'. Instead of checking what time I posted that, I'll assume I was tired and/or drinking. That isn't even how I'd expect to spell the wrong name...

I feel like there's some mystery perfect rear wheel arch treatment for those cars which has yet to be discovered all these decades after their production... Perhaps something like a sliver of a spat providing a lip proportional to the front fender, and covering slightly more of the tire as so many cars have when comparing front and rear. Perhaps I won't be the one to discover it, whatever it is...

And you thought PT Cruisers were ugly.  I present the 1996 Toyota Classic.  About 100 were produced and they sold for $75,000 in 1996 money.  Built on a Hilux chassis.

As if we needed proof that the Japanese surf their own wave.

And, since it's built on a Hilux chassis, apparently the parts more or less bolt up (except for the bed area, which is custom):

 

 

 

I rest my case.

Chevy has been doing square wheel openings on trucks for 45 years. Why the sudden hate?

Why I don't like this?  The original paint scheme followed the body lines. Made sense. 

This however is just trying to cover up modern ugly. 

Where am I right now? 

Standin' on a corner in Winslow, Arizona?

The photo below shows wheel arches that bother me far more than the symmetrical square ones of the larger trucks.
