8 Cars From The 1970s That Should Have Never Been Built

The 1970s gave us some of the worst cars ever made in America. Two of them won Car of the Year, one of them killed people, and another locked its own owner out. Here are 8 cars that should have never left the factory. The Malaise Era was a perfect storm of oil crises, emissions regulations, and corporate panic that pushed Detroit into building cars it should have been ashamed of. From the AMC Gremlin, sketched on an airsickness bag, to the Ford Pinto, whose fuel tank turned rear-end collisions into fireballs, these 8 cars represent the absolute lowest points of 1970s American automotive engineering. Some rusted in two winters. Some broke down on the way home from the dealer. And one became the reason a major automaker was criminally prosecuted for the first time in American history. #1970sCars #WorstCarsEver #ClassicCars
