1975 AMC Pacer
The AMC Pacer was supposed to be the future, but the two-door compact was a failure. It had great fuel economy, sure, yet that was its strongest selling point because it would lose control during hard stops and turns. It was hailed in the beginning for its small size in a time when the cars coming out of Detroit were massive, but soon better compact cars appeared on the market and replaced the Pacer. Sales dropped and AMC went out of business.
