Didn’t look. Were they or were they not put out of business so that Germany’s Volkswagen could enter the market? I’m thinking Hudson, Nash, American Motors.

I’m too lazy to look at that list. But the Tucker Torpedo was a failed car from that era. I always thought it was an interesting car. The Tucker Torpedo had a center headlight that turned when the steering wheel turned. And it had an armored front seat passenger well. So if you knew a head-on collision was coming, you could duck down and save yourself

How cool is that?

I watched the video to see if the Edsel was included in the list. Named after Henry Fords only son. Also known as the 250 million dollar flop.

But speaking of Ford, I have attended the past several Father’s Day car show at Greenfield Village. A spectacular event. Also available on YouTube.

Thanks for posting the video.

I would love to have one of those Chrome Laden ‘58 Olds ‘98s! The mid-50s Buicks were included, but nothing really bad was said about them, so I do not know why they were included on the list.

Beside fugly as Helen Thomas, lousy brakes and no air conditioning.

Cooling systems that did not work in warm climates.

Anyone remember traveling in the southwest with one or more “Camel” brand water bags hanging in front of the radiator?

Oh yeah, and shiity tires that were prone to blowouts.

I sure do not want anything to do with that junk, even though I was only a passenger, I remember the junk.

I think this was compiled by AI. It’s garbage.

I would gladly take any of those vehicles today. The ‘58 Olds 98 was absolutely gorgeous. Whoever put this list together is not a car lover. A ‘59 Edsel Corsair in good condition goes for over 50k today. Back then cars had style and comfort. You could tell cars apart easily. Today they basically all look the same, imho.

I don’t know about the 50s but I owned a Vega and a Gremlin in the 70s.

A costomized version of the Nash Healey owned by Ted Williams. The whereabouts of this car is unknown. Somre speculate his family still has the car, parked in a garage in his old estate in Ocala, FL. There's also rumors been secretly locked up in a storage area in the basement of Trop Field in St. Pete

Nobody’s brining back any cars from the 1950’s so we’re all good.
