The Ford Pinto was worse than ugly....Some of them were rolling fire and death traps

I was thinking the same thing. The 70s were the era of aesthetic dormancy.
The 70s were not good years to be growing up in...That decade started with the Kent State Killings,
Vietnam, Watergate, the beginnings of our present mess in the Middle East and they ended with
Jones-town, Three Mile Island and Iran hostage crisis. The only thing good to come out of the 70s
were the first personal computers. Granted some of them were junk but they were the start of
something great.
As for the 1950s Edsel....That was more than 50 years ago. The Trabant was what carried the
East Germans into the West when the Wall came down 20 years ago this week.....
