Actually the "rounded line" term was used to describe the 73-80 body lines. The 81-87 lines are where we got the "square body" term from.
My all time favorite is the 67-68 front end. This was a phenominal new design created by automotive designer and artist Harry Bentley Bradley. Just like the classic lines of the 69 Camaro, the 67-68 Chevy truck styling is in a class of it's own.
Next to that, I love the 73-74 Chevt front end. Again, GM had pegged the styling, and chose to "refine" it. They managed to do fine until 1980 when they attempted to merge the rounded lines with square lines.
We all know a round peg doesn't fit in a square hole, but that didn't stop GM from trying to make it fit.....
