Actually I’m impressed. Nobody at Ford ever apologized for the Pinto.
I’m still waiting for Pontiac to apologize for the Aztec.
The one who should apologize for the Pinto is Nader, not Ford! They did the gastank conversions for free; I know because we had one. That 2300cc engine is the same one they used in the Mustang, and just as good as the 351 Cleveland.
On the local dealer marquee: “Owned by Americans, not American owned.” I will buy them again.
Iacocca parlayed his masterful performance with the Pinto into the big time!!
