Quoting:
1967 Chevelle

Though my husband had the 69 camaro Z28, I always wanted a 66 Chevelle convertable, dark blue or candy apple red. I know I will never have one in my lifetime but I can dream. Lets face it, were there really any nice cars in the 70's? All I can remember was the jokes, Vegas, Pintos, Mavericks........... As someone else said, Corvettes, when I was about 12 that was the car I wanted and dreamed of, but as the years went on I was lucky enough to know someone with one and I must admit I hated the way the drive and to top it off it is made of fiberglass, not very safe in my opinion. We used to joke that after an accident you could sweep up whats left of the vette.

:(  Actually I think there were many nice 1s - but yeah, probably not as many %-wise as other decades.  But the biggies were pretty hot for the most part.  Early American attempts to make small cars often are disasters, even aesthetically; we just don't understand small.  But we understand big like no1.  And hence my love for the Lincolns, etc.

As much as is made over Pintos (also, by extension, the oft-forgotten Bobcat), I never actually heard of any problem w/them in "real life".  We had a Bobcat.  Maybe not the greatest car, but the flap by the scare-mongers like Nader was probably way overblown from what I ever heard of - including the years since its day.

We had a used Pinto wagon. It got my husband back and forth to work in the early 80's till he totaled it. We had two Lincolns also, a 79 Town car , an 84 Mark IV, both were boats. My sisters and her husband are diehard Lincoln people, that is what they have been driving for many ,many years.
