I have an old Studebaker bullet nose ring with the bullet in the middle, just like the one in that theoldmotor.com picture. I am not sure just what year Studebaker it was originally on. I bought it at Goodwill a bunch of years ago.

And
engine would be burning and leaking oil;
engine would be hard to start in the wet;
shocks and tires would have lasted 15,000 miles;
steering would have lots of play in it;
the brakes would be pulling, grabbing, and moaning, if they worked at all;
the gas gauge would be broken;
at least one door handle would not work.

The good old days, indeed.

Chicago can still do that to a modern car.

Hell, lots of places in Chicago you leave your car, you come back in
7 minutes to find the hubcaps and radio gone.

8 radios stolen in two years out of one car, including once while I
was at the insurance office filing a claim for a radio stolen a few
days before. Last straw? You bet.
