17 1970s Cars You Wouldn't Be Caught Dead In Today

This is not a recommendation list.

By Sabrina Fernandez

Published 4 months ago in Funny

Not every car from the 1970s deserves a nostalgic comeback. For every amazing car that still makes hearts race, there were a dozen eyesores, rust machines, and mechanical disasters that time should have left behind. 


The 1970s was a decade of experimentation, unfortunately, that often meant weird designs, underpowered engines, and questionable decisions brought to life on four wheels.


Between safety regulations, and design trends that aged like milk, some cars from this era are more junk than prized possessions. These aren’t the the classics you show off at car shows and post online after years, they’re the ones you hope no one remembers you ever drove.
