Historic Automotive Flops

Hosted by: Rebecca Brayton

The financial security of many automakers depends on good car design choices, both inside and out. Ford, for example, made two terrible choices with their Pinto: designing a malfunctioning car in the first place, and deciding not to spend money to fix the car’s problem. The American Motors Corporation had a history of ugly cars, with their Gremlin often named the ugliest car ever made. Finally, the beloved DMC-12 might not be the rarity it is today if not for the struggles of John Z. Delorean. In this video, WatchMojo.com takes a look at some interesting design choices made by carmakers over the years.
