Question Short Memories

I dunno if it just because I am naive, or over-optomistic. But I remember quite well the early 70's fuel scare. I was only a young'n, born in '68. Everyone was doing what people are doing now, and trading their big cars for smaller & more economical ones. My Dad was always under pressure from all sides to get rid of his Falcon & trade to a small car. He didn't, thank goodness. But then the trends turned, and big cars became popular again. If we stop producing these cars now, we will never get them back...
BUY FALCONS, YOUSE BASTARDS!
