Why do cars in movies from the 60’s and 70’s seem so bouncy? The suspension seems really loose, was there a reason for this?

Question

Edit: Wow thanks for all of the great responses, I was watching Goodfellas and was looking at the cars bouncing all over the place and thinking why was that. I’d love to drive in one to experience it someday.

Answer 1

Still in 2003 I got a Buick Century new and it Fucking floated over speed bumps without spilling soda. Good car.

My new one dodge avenger feels like I’m in a rally championship in the Sahara with bumps and loud as fuck, like not loud from the engine but like paper walls or something because sounds like driving without doors lol.

Gotta fix me up the Buick and float again. 👌
