Introduced in 1971 to compete with a similar offering from Ford, it was its maker’s first sub-compact. It was the first car built using robots, which may have led to a 2 ½-month strike at its assembly plant. It was also the first car to be won on Bob Barker-hosted “The Price is Right.” Plagued by massive oil consumption, and numerous design flaws, game shows largely became the most viable way to unload it.

In 2002, it played the role of the Beresford Hotel in Maid in Manhattan, and is the annual site for the Peabody Awards Banquet.

Of course, most people in the eastern U.S. never saw the most exciting 65 seconds in football, because NBC cut to a TV movie starring Jennifer Edwards.

(5)- “Cross-dressing serial slasher Norman Bates seems perfectly rational compared to the loon who thought it’d be neat to remake-shot for shot- this Hitchcock classic.
