There are real examples however, just look at the underside of matchbox cars over the years, they get less detailed as it goes on.

EDIT: I might be wrong on this, I do actually go to vintage toys fairs and boot sales and thought I was seeing a pattern but to honest I don't collect them and therefore don't know enough to say for sure that all the new lines are less detailed, so will admit I could be wrong.

This has been discussed before. For the most part, they're still replicating what the undersides look like. Which nowadays is flat, because it's more aerodynamic.
