Topping any such list is the 1923 Copper-Cooled Chevrolet, which was the last air cooled car made by Chevy prior to the Corvair. GM had to recall all of them and then destroyed almost the entire run;

The 1974 to 1979 big Fords (LTD, T Bird, Torino and their Mercury counterparts) which were ugly, seldom got over 10 mpg…

Sadly, it’s still not the stupidest thing he’s ever done.

This may be blasphemy, but the Bandit Trans Am.  Everything a pilot car is not supposed to be: underpowered with all the stealth of a presidential limousine complete with motorcade.  Sorry. 

The Cisitalia 202 pioneered the long hood/short rear design and has topped any number of “most beautiful cars” lists out there.

If the left is not above using a disaster to call for more regulation, the right should not be above using a disaster to call for less regulation. 

I absolve all 1973-76 big Chevys because they weren’t designed by GM. They were styled by NHTSA with their 5 mph bumper mandates. But I do get your point.

The 1963 full size Chevrolets (Impala, Bel Air, Biscayne) should be on this list, or at least get a (dis)honorable mention. Personal note: My parents were looking for a new car to replace the family 1955 210 (or was it a 150? I forget). They never bought anything for looks or fashion. But they nevertheless waited…

The first generation Corvair influenced European car design greatly:

I read somewhere, maybe here in Jalopnik, that Nissan had planned on importing only two Versas with manual transmissions this year so they can claim to sell sub 20K cars and cars with sticks without getting in legal trouble.

1953, 1954, 1955 Corvette. Any Chevy SS with a Powerglide. 

I discovered Buc-ees about a year and a half ago outside of St. Augustine on I-95. Walked in with my wife, turned to her and asked “Am I in heaven?”

There are several categories:

I want to know this: Is swapping the old battery pack for a new one feasible? Is there a company out there that can do that? What about the solid-state batteries that are always around the corner?

And would there be a tea maker for the right hand-drive markets? 

Actually, I figured that out just when the time allowed to edit the post ran out. I just didn’t care which way it was.

Ford Topaz. Or Mercury Tempo.  Whichever.  I would get them as rentals when traveling or when my car was in the shop.  They were the cheapest available for a reason. I would always hit the shoulder belt tensioner getting in or out.  Slow, uncomfortable, cheap everything.  At least they never broke down the short times…

And The Greatest of Them All was the 283.

“There is nothing more expensive than a cheap [insert name of high-end European car here].

I want to think there were 1.5 million reasons why Dr. Oz lost.
