Hate to be technical, but at turn of the decade there were *FOUR* major US auto manufacturers. Feisty independent in Kenosha Wisconsin: -Pioneered mass production unit body construction and comprehensive rust proofing -Earned 1964 Motor Trend car of the year -Outlasted ALL other independents (Avanti doesn't count) -Successfully competed in early NASCAR and Trans Am circuits -Produced four wheel drive sport utility wagon 15 years before Subaru (and four wheel drive sedans and hatch backs) -Produced first domestic subcompact, which was also lowest priced American car 6 years in a row (and after 1973 carried longest domestic new car warranty) -Single hadedly saved Kaiser Jeep, which was on verge of bankruptcy in 1970 -*NEVER* went out of business itself (was purchased by Chrysler as an ongoing concern) -Utilized oldest continuously operating highway transportation factory in the country (was producing Rambler brand bicycles in late 1800's) If your DeLo doesn't give satisfaction, perhaps you should consider an AMC...
