Ford in 86 did it with an outstanding new design called "Taurus"

It's a '36 DeSoto Airflow III...
The grille design and side vent treatment are the identifiers

They sure did David! I remember that was a hot car back then!
Certainly a love it or hate it design, but the Taurus looked so futuristic back then compared to everything else! Keep in mind this was the mid 80s and just about every car was a BOX with 4 wheels! LOL The Taurus was refreshing to see something different. I remember the first time I saw one, it was probably late August 1985 and I was in Huntington Village with a friend. All of a sudden this greyish blue Taurus pulls up to us. I knew about the car but hadnt seen one "live" I thought it looked so futuristic, like something from Robo Cop! LOLOL Turns out it was a neighbor of my friend so I got to check out the car. Pretty cool back then. My Mark 8 is on the Aero "jelly bean" side too lol
