    Lots of years to chose but we could also add lots of locations to chose. If we were in Australia we could said 1971. Down Under Holden continued to thrive with the Monaro while Ford put the Cleveland 351 under the hood of the Falcon sedan and give birth to the GTHO and Chrysler created the Aussie Charger with an Hemi…

    Don't forget the Duster who was a newest addition to the Valiant line-up and with the 340 ci engine was also a "pocket muscle-car" going after the Chevrolet Nova SS-396 who was on its last year, last year also for Chrysler C-bodies (Polara/Fury/Newport) convertibles.

    It was also the final year for the 409, the 396 will replace it in the BelAir/Biscayne/Impala and it was the beginning of new monikers at Chevrolet and Ford with Caprice and LTD. Oldsmobile got a sub-series of the Dynamic 88 named Delta 88.

    Also Bob Marks designed some ideas for a proposed 1967 Studebaker [deansgarage.com]

    We could ponder some other "what if", what if Studebaker had mordernized the old South Bend plant? Ate up with Motor mentionned then the dark clouds at Studebaker originated in the early 1950s. [ateupwithmotor.com]

    I guess we could had trust Don Knotts with "The Dude" ;-) Picture from [www.sweptline.com]

    At last but not the least, the 1970-71 "The Dude" variant.

    More retro Dodge truck on the table with the 1970 model.

    I guess ethanol might be popular again but not the one from corn, the one from cellulosic sources, sugarcane, forest wastes, switchgrass and.... even hemp.

    I ponder the same question too. I think Giugario name might became less important over the years like Ghia.

    +1 also add the first-gen Mustang, 1964-67 GM mid-size (Chevelle/GTO) and the 1965-67 full-size Impala

    I guess Honda wanted to shake up things, because Hyundai is on their rear-view mirror and the article from Nikkei is a big slap on their face [www.thetruthaboutcars.com]

    I taught they had some Pinto's DNA, lol :-)

    At last but not the least, the Yugo.

    The Honda Element and the Crosstour would be another candidate.

    The Lada would be an obvious choice in company of the Camry, Cimarron, Smart.

    J'espère aussi, croisons nos doigts.

    I didn't taught of the Argentine Polara, thanks to mentionning this one. Also we could add the Renault Torino 4-door sedan to the list.

    Let's add the 1957-65 Imperial Crown limousine made by Ghia to the list. ;-)
