Personally I define a car as "Old School" by its shape more than the chrome bumpers etc.

To use the Celica/Supra evolution as an example.

When looking through the evolution note how the last model of each age shows major advances towards the next.

Old School (1st & 2nd Generation)

Note the somewhat curved shape and streamlined design of the body.

80's Style! (3rd & 4th Generation)
http://www.yellowsun.plus.com/history/celica3_1.jpghttp://www.yellowsun.plus.com/history/celica4_1.jpg
Something happened in the 80's which caused car manufacturers to design all these boxy looking cars.... they look kind of tough but when considering the evolution of the car they seem out of place.

Modern Classics (5th & 6th Generation)
http://www.yellowsun.plus.com/history/celica5_1.jpghttp://www.yellowsun.plus.com/history/celica6_1.jpg
The modern classics are more streamlined as you would have expected would have followed the old school design.
The use of plastic has increased, however, these cars are still built quite solidly with decent thickness panels.

Disposable era (7th Generation and Beyond)

In the late 90's safety and cost reduction became a major design influence and as such cars seem to have become more disposable and less rigid to meet the latest safety requirements.
