I hate to admit this, but when I was poor, young and dumb in the
mid-70's I owned two of the cars in this book - 1974 Mustang II and
1973 Chevy Vega.
The only thing good about the Vega is it had a heated rear window, so
your hands didn't get cold when you had to push it!
Now own a 2005 Honda Accord coupe.

A neighbor of mine and I came home one day with a new car each. I had a
Datsun 210, and he had a Chevette. He proclaimed what a piece of **** car I
had bought. I said we'd see as the cars aged. His Chevette was forever
tossing timing belts (not chains) and wouldn't start half the time. My
Datsun ran for lots of years before I sold it, and I only put on tires,
brakes, and a distributor.

I can just imagine the Vega team at Chevrolet asking themselves "what
did we do wrong the last time?".
"Well, it kinda looks good and with a bit of work it can be made to go
fast."
Then they made the Chevette.
