I forgotted, this one, on the other hand, Ford let the Falcon with its 1960 body style continuing to soldier until 1990 (or 1991) in Argentina with upgrades like squared headlights and redesigned dash. Here an Argentine ad from 1973

Renault inherited some Ramblers built under licence by IKA (Industrias Kaiser Argentina) and one model IKA built was a local legend, the Torino. Picture from [www.productioncars.com]

Here a vintage Argentinian Dodge GTX ad.

Chrysler solded some A-body variants who got the Polara and GTX monikers but also the Hillman Avenger who was sold as Dodge 1500 [www.allpar.com] and soldiered to the early 1990s when VW buyed Chrysler South American operation.

Lots of candidates here, the Chevrolet Opala from Brazil. Pic from [www.tocmp.com]

Even the Family Truckster seems to be a masterpiece as well as the 1962 Dodge and Plymouth "plucked chicken" [ateupwithmotor.com] compared to the Juke.

I agree, and the Indian is also crying too. :_(

The Olds Hurst is a special kind like the Camaro/Nova/Chevelle prepared by Yenko and Baldwin-Motion as well as the Royal Bobcat GTO [www.streetlegaltv.com]

Even the magazine "Collectible Automobile" jump on the occasion, they did an article about the 1971-76 Cadillac, the big 1975-79 Lincoln Continental. And who knows? What old is new again and they could be "in" again.

John Wayne would had approved your post ;-) (movie clip from "Brannigan")

I agree although the only exceptions might be for the Prelude, S2000, 1970s-early 1980s RWD Celica, Supra...

It's sad.......very sad... :_(

You're welcome :-)

And speaking of McQ, enjoy this clip when the Duke drived in Seattle.

Actually, the quote ""...there's only 3 things wrong with Yanks. They're over-sexed, over-confident and over here" came from Brannigan who was set in London.

Now, I wish to see how the Lalo Schifrin soundtrack would had sound in other cars chase movies scenes like Vanishing Point, Duel, the French Connection, the Seven-ups, Gone in 60 seconds (the original), Cotton Comes to Harlem, McQ, etc...?(I don't think it would had fit right in Smokey & the Bandit or the Blues…

Or even Axel Foley ;-)

Maybe we should also suggest a statue of Walt Kowalski (Clint Eastwood) with his Gran Torino as well ;-)

And Milwaukee got a statue of Fonzie.

It's slightly off-topic but I spotted these stuffs about some areas of Japan with its demographic problems and the recessions, some aeras turn abandonned.
