and they used to race them in reverse just for shits and giggles!
You could bring any make and model to those races, but DAF was most popular just because they would go just as fast in reverse as in forward
I wish Ford had more regular cars in North America, they got rid of all except the Mustang
Based on what it sounds like they're doing to their trucks in terms of privacy and your ability to actually own your vehicle, I'm not mad that I can no longer get a newer Ford sedan.
Bring back the crown Victoria!
I asked a manufacturer how long it would take them to design and build one of my favorite cars and they said 6 months. I was surprised and asked, "Dat soon". (Old Datsun joke)
International Harvester.
My dad had a Scout before I was born. I knew a guy with an international pickup truck that was indestructible.
I know the scout is coming back as an EV. But it seems to be a VW offshoot. So not really excited about that.
Tucker! They never really got their footing but had some really innovative features that took decades for the industry to fully adopt. Iโd be interested to see what they would be producing if they were around today.
Zaporozhec' (I have one lol)
Spyker.

Austin, always had a soft spot for them & my grandmother learnt to drive in one.
I feel like amc was pretty innovative for its time. Most brands I can think of would probably succumb to the blob crossover trend because of how the us markets are set up for cars, but I feel like amc could still put an interesting twist on things.
Ugly but dependable.
I feel like the answer is different if I am just resurrecting them as they were when they died, vs if I am magically in charge of the brand with funding to start "fresh"....
Gilbern, great lightweight fibreglass bodied "sports" cars from Wales...
Mercury, Saturn, Pontiac, Plymouth, Mitsubishi. Plenty more, but those are off the top of my head.
Fun fact: GM will buy out a company, and to no surprise, it gets ruined. ๐
