Oh well, at least you didn't have this on the list:


The Austin Allegro

Taste somehow died during the 1970's.

Well, that explains the clothes, then.

Ivan, facinating entry. I don't even think the Allegro was imported into the U.S.

However, the equally stylish Metro did make the rounds here from 1954-1961. It too was an Austin product, sold by Nash Rambler (American Motors)

Americans for the most part do not know about the horrid Allegro. For those that do not know it's Hydroelastic suspension was prone to collapes and the body structure was very weak. My father Inlaw had one in the early 70's. He had a flat tire and when he jacked it up to change it the windshield popped out! Talk about body flex.
