I love this one:

Here, a classic Volkswagen Beetle, center, on Van Nuys Boulevard... He noted the Pintos to both the right and left of the Beetle

The Pinto and its American competitors, the Vega and the Gremlin, were all designed to compete with the VW Beetle, mimicking its wheelbase, engine size, etc., everything except its build quality and design integrity.

Beginning of the end of the great American automobile, which these photos otherwise show.

Breaks my heart...I had a brand new red 67 Beetle that I used during my 3 year tour of duty in West Berlin. Loved it!
