Agreed, like the AMC Pacer which came out in 1975.

Gremlin came out in 1970 it was the first American small car of the 70s

Very accurately spoken. I NEVER heard anyone call the Volare a "vol-AIR", especially over and over. You must spend a lot of time alone. There was even a pop song of the same name recorded by several artists, pronunciation the same. Sloppy, careless, embarrassing!

We might as well add the Austin Marina from 1971… and how about the Sterling from Rover 1987… FIAT 500 from 2008… Yugo 1985?

@@lancasterritzyescargotdine2602 Yeah, at least the editor excluded Studebaker models from calendar '64 through '66 which were only produced in Hamilton Ontario.

@@stephaniebooth6169 Correct, of course. Only the Rambler Gremlin first debuted for the 1970 model year.

Voted down.

@lancasterritzyescargotdine2602 There was NO Rambler about the AMC Gremlin The Rambler name was gone after 1969, And the Gremlin came out in April 1970.

@@mikeweizer3149 My bad. You are 100% correct. The trouble with AMC is they changed their corporate name every few decades. First it was Kelvinator, then Nash-Kelvinator, then Rambler, then AMC... Previous generations usually call it by it's previous name. I remember in the 60s the old guys were still calling Rambler cars "Nashes", even tho Nash was already obsolete. Thank you for your clarification.

Thank you

Of all your nominations for "bad" cars, only Aztec, Vega, Corvair and Edsel were ever considered truly bad at the time. The rest are just garden-variety cars, NONE of which came out in the 1960s. My suffering thru this self-appointed Bragg-All finally made me run to the terlet and wretch. Please keep your day job... thank you.

He shows Impalas while talking about Corvairs. He can't pronounce "Volare" at all. Can't even disclose what years Marlins and Pintos were produced. If this were a 4th-grade video project, I'd give it a thumbs-up. Since it's supposed to be an adult review, it gets a very generous F-.

My first car was a corvair and I loved it. Had it in the winter of 78 in Chicago. Would go anywhere I wanted it to go as long as it was in a straight line lol

My first car was a 67 corvair and I loved it. Had it in the winter of 78 in Chicago. Would go anywhere I wanted it to go as long as it was in a straight line lol

NONE. Absolutely None!

And, truth be told, I wouldn't mind having a '63 Studebaker Lark Wagonaire (a rather innovative revision of the station wagon concept).

However, Studebaker's quality far exceeded AMC's (Rambler). He says the Edsel came out with fins. Funny, I never saw a '58 Edsel with fins. This Poor Soul talks like Donald Trump farts.

@@lancasterritzyescargotdine2602 ; It had fins, but subtle.

Yep have a 1963 Lark 289 in garage custom love it

@@Johnnycdrums Well, not really. ''Subtle'' fins are a 1959 Ford.

My mom had an AMC swept back sedan, I thought the styling was gorgeous. It wasn't very reliable though.

Well deserved. He's talking about the cars they make on Pluto. The last Edsel was actually built in 1959.

Those 'likes' are not from car experts, but the Peanut Gallery, who wouldn't know a 2024 Edsel Town Sedunliner Cabrio Squire from a 1769 Cugnot Skyleaky Contractible.

@@lancasterritzyescargotdine2602 🤣Yup!!!

@bobroth1951 You took the words out of my mouth almost verbatim.

That's the best advice yet. Scrap this bull, go learn about cars, then try again. This is nothing short of insulting.

I had a '74 Pinto Squire. Bought it in 1985 for $400 needing tires and a water pump. I put 70M on it and only replaced the crummy plastic timing belt once in that time. Ugliest car Ford ever made? No doubt. Most reliable car Ford ever made? No doubt there, either.

My girlfriend at the time had a pinto. I likes its looks and hatch back space. It also handled pretty good. But it really shined in the upstate NY winters. It was nearly as good as the Corvairs that I was driving at the time.

@@dgwachtel Any Corvair that lasted to 1971 must have been a "Tuesday morning car".

@@lancasterritzyescargotdine2602 Other than the '62 they were all the newer versions. They were pretty well used. The body work was still pretty good on most of them with very limited rust damage. I rebuilt the motors and clutch on each car and the universal joints on a couple of them. One was unregistered parked at the curb. I left a note and got the car for free. Besides the motor/clutch rebuild I had to replace the driver's side door from my stock of parts cars. It was my daily driver and I ice raced it for two years IRC. I called it the "Multi Color Wonder". It was pretty reliable. The only recurring problem on all of them was the seals on the exhaust loosening up and letting exhaust gas into the passenger compartment when the heater was on. Very dangerous. A failure on the way back from the US GP at the Glen caused me to nearly pass out. Drove the rest of the way home with the windows and vents open at 32 degrees F. Brrrrr. -dave

And no '67, the best-looking of them all.

Unfortunately, America's reputation for beautiful, well-made cars went completely to hell with the introduction of government cars built after the 1972 model-year, but General Motors was the worst. In particular, 1977 was when they decided to put Chevrolet engines in all their car lines and not let buyers know. We had a 1998 Buick Park Avenue on which everything literally crumbled to dust, from the plastic hub caps (which had to be replaced each time the brakes were done) to the ashtray to the seat adjusting lever to the outer door handles.

To this clown, that means a Kaiser and a Camel. The 2001 Aztec was the latest in a long generation of dreadful cars from GM. It's a shame it had to be a Pontiac!

I agree. We regularly rented Chevettes (or 'chevet' as you like to spell it) for the 1st few years they were out. We used them for long trips and never had a problem. After the ten-year debacle of the Corvair, the stigma became attached to all small Chevrolets and persists to this day. The public has a long memory.

Excuse me, were you alive in 1965? I was 21 back then, and it was Nader's book, 'Unsafe at any speed', published in 1965, that killed Corvair, NOT the Ford Mustang.

@@oldgysgt True, up to a point. The Corvair became a disaster the first few months they appeared on the roads. Movie star Ernie Kovacs was killed in an early 1962 Corvair. By 1965, Nader's book spilled all the beans, by which time lawsuits against Chevrolet and GM were flying like leaves in a hurricane. If the Mustang killed anything, it was its own sibling, the very handsome, restyled '64 Falcon, which had morphed into a sports compact. By then, the Nova had taken over the role of Chevrolet's compact, leaving the Corvair an orphan with nobody to claim it. Meanwhile, Corvair got a complete appearance makeover, but it was too little too late. The brand was toast, yet GM dawdled around another five years before finally deciding to put it down. It reawakened a skipped year later renamed Vega only now it was air-cooled, but spooked with the same engineering flaws that killed the Corvair.

@@lancasterritzyescargotdine2602; I owned a 1966 Corvair Corsa convertible, and two friends also owned Corvairs. All three of us encounter stability problems on wet or poor surfaced roads. In these conditions the Corvair had a tendency to swap ends with little or no warning. My two friends ended up spinning theirs, and mine once got sideways on a wet street faster than you could say "sh*t". With most cars you can feel it getting a bit squarely just before it starts to swing around, but the Corvair gave no such warning. One minute everything is going fine, and the next minute the rear end has already swung around on you. As I can remember, Kovacs was coming out of the Hollywood hills early one Sunday morning, and went through a rain puddle at a high rate of speed. His Corvair started spinning, and the spin stopped when he plowed into a concrete retaining wall.

@@oldgysgt That sounds about right, except it was a metal light pole that twisted his Corvair into a pretzel.

@@lancasterritzyescargotdine2602 I owned, drove daily and ice raced Corvairs, including a 1962 with the notorious swing axles. Probably ten of them including parts cars. By at least 1964 the swing axles were replaced by Corvette half shafts, eliminating the hazards of the swing axles. The second version as well had the Corvette half shafts. A friend owned a turbo charged '64 which was lots of fun to drive. In Ice racing a slightly modified Corvair won just about every rear engine rear wheel drive class ice race. For a couple of years second version Corvairs won just about every SCCA D Production road race in the Northeast. Restoration of Corvairs are ongoing to the extent that it is getting hard to find chassis worth restoring as well as parts. So much for the baloney in this upload and in Ralf Nader's hit piece book. -dave

Oh he made one. Can't wait to see how completely fuct it is!!

Thank you for the warning. Nothing aggravates me more than watching bedtime stories and fairy tales about cars that don't exist.

@@UberLummox He'll probably review the 1952 Marlin Ranchero, the 1954 Ford Expedrorer Sunscraper, the Harley-Davidson 4-door motorcycle and the 1950 Chubby Bel Air SS 4x4 Pogo Stick LE that can scale Mt.Everest. I can't wait.

@@lancasterritzyescargotdine2602 HAHA! "Sunscraper" - brilliant! Don't forget the 1959 Mustang Urban Sedan! 😁

@@UberLummox Oh, I remember that car. I always wanted a 1959 Mustang Skyscraper 4-door retractable hardtop in Turkeyturd Turquoise. I wonder if "America Before" has any info on it?

The Edsel was "product-planned to death." Overlooked the sharp recession of 1958 as a contirbuting factor in its demise, although the pricing strategy for a car supposed to "bridge the gap" between Ford and Mercury actually bracketed the mid-level Ford models to the top-of-the-line Mercury which could be optioned into lincoln territory did it no favors.

hagerty1952: 100% completely accurate. Thank you!

winstone: 100% completely accurate. Thank you!

Hm.

I owned a '62 Corvair. It was a little oversteery but I added quick steering and stiffer springs, lowered the car a bit and it tamed right down. I jacked the swing axles all the way up when I hit a curb due to being cut off. It was all asses and elbows before the rear suspension became unj-jacked. By at least the 1964 model year the swing axle rear suspension was replaced with Corvette half shafts that because of having to run at an angle due to the trans axle position, had to have their universal joints replace at least on a bi yearly basis. At least no more jacking. When I turned twenty one I took the '62 ice racing on Lake George. I started last and finished in second place after pursuing the first place car, another 60's Corvair, for the most of the race! I later became a club racing driver in formula cars from F3 to FF. I had no luck racing newer Corvairs, the a modified for the ice Fiat 850 (1sts: 3; 2onds: 2; 3rds: 1; DNF's:1) Didn't do the entire season due to university tests. The 62 owners manual specified 27 lb. tire pressures. If the driver had to make a high 'g' maneuver, the tire flexed, the rim would dig into the pavement and flip the car. I ran 32 lbs all around. 28 lbs in a swing axle car was just nuts! Other fun cars I've owned have been a MGB before the raised it way too high (most fun) and a '86 MR2. I'm currently rehabilitating a 1999 Lexus. -dave

The Marlin was based on a show car based on the Rambler American platform, but the Marlin was actually built on the Classic platform initially, before bowing out as a fastbacked Ambassador. It was more comparable to the first-generation Dodge Charger, and may be considered a cautionary _don't let this happen to you_ chapter in the development of the Highland Park model.

The '60 Edsel lookes like a '59 Pontiac mated with a '60 Ford. Not terrible in comparison with its competitors aside from the startling taillight treatment. Now, the '61 facelift of the '60 DeSoto (a masterpiece) was genuinely hideous on a Medusa level.

Aside from the taillights, it wasn't too bad.

Mine too. Nothing but rubbish and misinformation.

And number 5... The Pinto, from 1971!

Next the Vega... 1971...

Sorry, but this shite has no lack to do with the Sixties at all.

Mustang II... come on!

Gremlin... 1970's

I have no problem getting rid of foreign cars. They're ugly as hell, junky, flimsy, dangerous, overpriced and cost a fortune to service and maintain. I'd rather drive Vegas, Corvairs, Edsels, Volares, Aspens, Mustang IIs, Gremlins, Chevettes and Pacers. They had CLASS!
