Shitty cars ? I spend my youth in an AMI 6 with my father riding everywhere and never , ever these cars let you down. Extreme soft suspension, spacious, simple mecanics. You won't find such a car anymore at a low price,, a real collectors item these days. Fiat 600 motor in the back,, we had that one at home too,, very good car, Fiat made a fortune with these cars. In the old days cars were much smaller maybe to drive into narrow Italian streets I guess, but the mecanics were also good. We went on holidays 1000 km from home to the south of France,, no overheating at all a big fan cooled the engine, just like the beetle cars. Water cooled engine as well. The gearbox was not synchronised , you had to stop to put in 1 gear for ex, little consumption, drum brakes. I guess nowadays real shitty cars are made instead, stacked up with electronic devices and to difficult to work on,, but as Bob Dylan once sang, , times are a changing ... most cars are real money pits these days instead !

The modern stupefied generation, which makes the sound "Uh..." opening the hood, is so stupid that it does not understand that all these screens, touchscreens should want cars cheaper, not more expensive, because one OEM display is 30-40 dollars, and one old speedometer 50-70 dollars. This reduces the cost of the car, but leads to the fact that all the functions of the car are tied to one can bus and processor, which ages over time they accumulate errors and sooner or later give failures that cannot be eliminated mechanically without programmers and specialized programs from the manufacturer. In the 90s, one day, far outside the city, the gear motor of the damper for supplying warm air to the heater broke down in the cold at minus 30, I removed the glove box and managed to dismantle the motor and manually open the damper.Right now, it's impossible.

Furthermore even though I am over six foot tall I found the car comfortable and even fun to drive with adequate power. The engine was a B series Morris engine that was built under licence by Datsun but dramatically improved to cure Morris design faults, particularly over heating which meant a lot in Australia. I value my happy memories of owning a DATSUN 1000. A truely great little car !!

Yes, the body leaned over a lot when cornering, but it stuck to the road like glue - which is more than could be said for most American cars of the period - or since, come to that...

These cars are not worst and crappy. The Ami 6 back window design had several benefits in days when rear wipers didn't really exist - not only did it keep rain off the back window, it kept sun off the rear passengers's necks, and Citroen omitted to let the competition know that it significantly reduced wind resistance, which is why modern cars have spoilers there. (It was the same with Detroit's big rear fins). The Imp had a liquid cooled engine, the problem was that the hoses to the front radiator were inadequate and this could be fixed with some after-market bodgery. The Isetta, Bond and Peel were utter rubbish but not really cars.

This gave it more room on the front bench seat, another unusual feature on a small engined English car.

The Hillman Imp has a rear opening window. My neighbour bought a brand new one and day two, lovely summer day, he opened the rear window to load a long rectangular parcel. As a 4-year old I was fascinated. No cars had rear hinged windows! The Imp had only just come out and the old guy was obviously very proud of his olive green Imp. A few days later, he died. The funeral hearse came to take away the coffin from the house, as was common in the sixties. The Spooky Thing Was, they loaded the coffin in the back of the converted, funereal-black Austin Westminster (?) hearse just like he loaded his brown-paper wrapped coffin-shaped parcel into the Imp earlier that week. Very scary!

The author of the video does not know the history of the appearance of Henry Jay's car - "....To finance the development of the project, the company received a federal government loan in 1949. Kaiser-Frazer pledged to create a car whose cost would not exceed $1,300 (at 2011 prices - $11,860). It was supposed to accommodate five adults, reach a speed of 50 miles per hour (80 km/ h) and go on sale no later than September 30, 1950...." From the point of view of meeting the requirements of the state, Kaiser Fraser fulfilled all the conditions. This car was not so small , 4 meters 43 cm, and its interior was even larger or comparable to the same age as the Oldsmobile Rocket 88 . THE ESSENCE of the PROBLEM for this machine was that the recovery of the US economy after the war took place at a faster pace and the well-being of US citizens grew much faster than according to the government's plans for the end of the 40s. Well, the engine power of 68 and 85 horsepower of the engines of these cars were not so small , much later the heavier Chevrolet Corvair had an 85 horsepower engine

(22:33): "The larger and more sophisticated Dess." It's DS - two letters, and is pronounced as such. I'm assuming this is an AI narration. Regarding the Ami 6, the shape of the body and lack of rear wheel arch always made it look like a shoe to me when I was young, but quite a few cars back then had that swept-back rear window; the Ford Anglia, Ford Consul Classic and Reliant Regal 3/25 are examples I know of. Re three-wheelers, the advantage of those was that they could be driven on a motorbike licence, so - if like my mum and dad - you ended up with more children than you could fit in a sidecar (with mum riding pillion) you still had family transport until you passed your car driving test (which was when dad graduated to a Vauxhall Viva). The green and white 'Ferodo' Bond, by the way, was anything but underpowered - it had a Hillman Imp 875cc engine, fitted in the back. Pretty powerful for a very light fibreglass bodied car (coming in at 400 kg). With the weight at the back and only one wheel at the front that's power enough!
