Good point. There's several little metal wheels in there with bearings that have to be really expensive or will gradually get worse and worse. A regular door just has hinges, which last forever. And the driver's door is likely to be used multiples of any other door.

Because we have new rules in the new ACA, those things can't happen here in the US anymore. The Republican party has voted 56 times to repeal it.

The US used to have income taxes rates like that in the postwar 1950's to '60's.

The good '40 Ford ones look pretty plausible, and would increase luggage space and probably not hurt aerodynamics. The Rolls ones look obviously ridiculous.

Actually with older GM cars you can remove the key when it is in the On position and drive without it after that if you don't put it in Lock.

On the other hand, they put a window in your roof, or an opening.

That would make a lot more sense than a Taurus.

A Fiesta would be a much better choice for commuting, obviously. Wonder why the Taurus?

He has a house. He could bring it inside.

Modern cars last a lot longer with far fewer repairs than they did for example in the 1950's.

We should definitely go back to throwing all the recyclables in the trash and burning it all or something. Think of the time you waste with all that separating and now for Christ's sake, composting. There was nothing wrong with cars getting 10 mpg and filling the air with all kinds of stuff including lead. Maybe it's…

There was an actual French guy in charge of design at Nissan. The previous Versa, the previous Sentra, and the previous Quest all look to me like they are from his tenure. Can't exactly explain, but all have a designy look, like they started from modernist designs, not from commerce. Art film vs. Hollywood.

I hope everyone realizes that the brochure paintings of cars, like in that graphic, are way stretched out. Much lower and longer than reality. But as you can see from photos in the comments here, the real thing was pretty massive enough.

But not sold in the US.

To 1996 I think. The successor was as boring and conventional as the originals were the opposite.

A very influential car, and very nice. Not sold in the US.

It may be painfully any year in any decade. One of the few times in automotive history where the old and outdated old model outsold the new one.

Outlier, with its incomprehensible mechanical layout. Chrysler already showed them how to do it, and they had the Camry hardware on the shelf. I submit for your approval....(I know, predictable.)

The steering box at the end of a non-collapsible steering column is in front of the front axle line. There is little structure and no engine in front of the front seat passengers.

Well, thinking about concept cars and being a kid.....and by the way I'm older than you are. I remember being stunned by this concept car at an auto show in 1958. Same colors as this one. Turned out it was real.
