American aotomobile brands that went extinct since I was bor
Posted: Fri Jun 04, 2010 7:16 am
Since I was born many brands have passed on.
These are the big names. Some were divisions
of the "big three".
Crosley
Hudson
Packard
Studebaker
Desoto
Kaiser (more famous for building Liberty ships, built Jeep until selling to AMC in 1970)
Rambler (AMC)
Plymouth
Oldsmobile
Pontiac
Saturn
Hummer
Mecury
Some merged later to go under as in the case of Hudson and Rambler merging to form AMC
Packard and Studebaker merged only to fail later, about 1964. Avanti was the only remaining
Studebaker design that survived only to die in the late 1970's.
Olds, Pontiac, Saturn and Hummer are all under the GM banner.
Plymouth and Desoto are Chrysler.
Now it's time for the Death of a Ford brand, Mecury is dead this year.
