13 WORST and CRAPPY Cars From The 1960s! in The World

[@FirmCat]

KZbin needs a 'this video was thrown together by AI and is riddled with inaccuracies' buttton.

[@hallgeirbjrkavag8634]

Absolutely. That would give me a chance to avoid that shit.

[@georgjrgensen8507]

I couldn't agree more. What a heap of nonsense!

[@tonyzed6831]

I opened the video knowing it would be crap... and it is.

[@Ivy2D]

I think an AI would do better than this... I asked chat GPT for the Peel specs, and they were correct... in this video they are totally wrong with the wheel layout and that is just crappy information and scripting of the maker

[@TobiasCat-s7n]

It doesn't even credit copyright ownership! A couple of hours' editing?

[@IanandSueCope]

What a very biased and inaccurate history

[@Demun1649]

Very true.

[@ianbrown9082]

I race against a whole bunch of Hillman Imps. 1: They've never been aircooled and 2: they can be bl**dy quick, capable of beating 289ci Mustangs and Falcons on a good day, despite only having a quarter of the power

[@Hans-k9j]

What a lousy documentary. Full of faults and not appreciating the wonderful engineering of these cars of the fifties. They were what people in Europe needed at the time and could afford. Just watched it for the lovely old cars.

[@andrewwmacfadyen6958]

Whole video is addled with mistakes and poor research. For example the Hillman Imp was definitely not air cooled, it was more powerful roomier and better trimmed than the Mini. It was highly successful in racing and rallying its sucess pushed the Mini Cooper out of the up to 1000cc classes.

[@ratmanmurray7137]

Yes, the imp was water cooled and 875cc motor (a few 998cc) ... this video is rubbish. As someone said, AI created with no effort nor seeking of the truth.

[@neilbedford5082]

I am pretty sure too, that the post office rejected using the Imp van, because it was considered 'too sporty' and instead gave posties either the Minor van or Mini van.

[@Tmmjosefa]

Imp was my first car. Loved it so much that my second car was an Imp Sport 😀

[@studiocalder818]

Pathetic view grabber

[@Yorgos2007]

Zastava 750 was the Yugoslav version of the Italian Fiat 600. It was indeed a nice car. In Spain it was manufactured by SEAT, that time owned by Spanish state-owned banks and by 7% by FIAT. It was called there the SEAT 600 and even had a 4-door version the SEAT 800. These cars are rather adorable and admirable than bad.

[@studiocalder818]

👍🏻 Totally agree. Excellent road holding and that 4 cylinder was snappy and robust. The legendary Abarth versions won everywhere

[@xavierviaene5022]

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 !

[@vovanpop]

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.

[@GeorgePrivalov]

[@mikebaginy8731]

The Citroen Ami 6 offered a comfortable ride and rooms interior. I enjoyed the gear shift lever location on the instrument panel, also a feature of the Renault R4 and R5 - both comfortable, affordable and dependable cars. I wish similar simple cars would be offered today.

[@VolkswagenNut1969]

I couldn’t get past the near constant glitches and mispronunciations of the AI voice. Just another clickbait “bot” video!

[@charleshendriks5789]

Ben ik mee eens, Citroën, 2cv, diane, ami, deze lieten je nooit in de steek. Beter dan die plastic, computer gestuurde rommel van tegenwoordig. Waardeloze serie met tal van onwaarheden. Waarom kijk ik? Voor de beelden van deze mooie auto's.

[@marcdaigneault2357]

You got some facts wrong on the Hillman imp. They were water cooled. Not air cooled as stated. The Austin a40 had ok performance for a 1.2 cc engine and it had a large interior with leather upholstery. It had an unusual column change ( reversed of most) and was a 4 speed. This gave it more room on the front bench seat, another unusual feature on a small engined English car.

[@janvdb5098]

Citroën ami 6 my parents had one. I find it superb.

[@Jetchisel]

I am 70yo and during my 20's I owned a second hand two door DATSUN 1000 sedan for around three years. I can therefore testify that despite it's numerous (but minor) limitations the car stands out as one of the most reliable cars I have ever owned !! 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 !!

[@BlisterBang]

Fascinating that cars from the 1950's were "WORST and CRAPPY Cars From The 1960's".

[@FM60260]

Names a bunch of iconic cars... "This car is terrible because it doesn't have modern features and doesn't have as much power"

[@FedUpCanuck]

So many people love these cars and would have no problem owning one

[@wernerharms4833]

In the 1950ies a car reaching 100mph was called a luxury or sports car.

[@rogerwenzel1099]

A myopic and flawed history seen through the lens of today and not. the pioneering technology each vehicle actually represented.

[@henktulp4400]

23:15 The Citroen Ami 6 was a commercial success!! Many were used and obused and still ran for over 30 years!! They were lightweight, reliable and economic transport… cheap to buy and cheap to run!! And in a country with hardly anything but bumpy countryroads no one wants to go faster than 100Km/h…. and wasn’t 60MPH the maximum speed in the US of A at the time too??? WHO are YOU to criticise the cars that got Europe going again after WWII???…. (Well and the Marshal-plan of course…) It’s easy to judge from a country where fuel costs next to nothing…

[@jeffstorm]

The Henry J had a back seat you could fold down which extended the trunk area giving you loads of room. Plus, using the chassis for a hotrod platform worked quite well.

[@andrejkregar3988]

I bought a used AMI 6 in 1971. I drove it all over Europe for about 200,000 km without a SINGLE PROBLEM! There probably would have been more if AMI hadn't been destroyed in a car accident. I later rode DYANEs and would have if they still made them. Those were cars, not these electronic marvels of today. If you can't drive a car without a reversing camera, then you shouldn't be driving at all!

[@retiredin2015]

I don't understand why people (this poster) criticises cars from a completely different era..They were not bad cars as you sadly suggest . These cars were on the road daily when i started in the Motor trade in 1962...You cannot compare that time with today..

[@RobdeKoter]

I drove Citroens for about 20 years, beautiful cheap and efficient cars..... the Panhard was an very interesting piece of innovation. For you I suggest an other career.

[@raddepadde3177]

i own a Citroen DS Pallas, the most incredible car ever made!!!!

[@stephendeluca4479]

A car produced from 1949-56 does not qualify for this video, which was supposed to be about the 1960s.

[@philipdove6987]

If the Bond was so bad why was it made for 17 years? Reliant who produced one of the later Bond designs made three wheel cars into the 1980s. Their 4 wheel design was the rather specialist Scimitar, a high end sports car.

[@EbenBransome]

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.

[@dbrown51967]

designers of the ford anglia had the same idea with the rear window. someone threw this lot together with little thought to the actual facts.

[@eisenprinzpl9114]

Well, if I remember correctly, the Isetta had a single-cylinder four-stroke engine (taken over from motorcycle production) from BMW. In my youth, it was a normal sight on the streets.

[@Lee-70ish]

I had the Heinkel version. So just 3 wheels , 200cc and steering wheel, wasn't attached to the door . My brother is 6ft 4in and could sit in the passenger seat legs out straight. Way bigger inside than people thought

[@DavidRea2710]

I'll never forget the Imp - 4 lads and camping gear travelled from London to the Isle of Wight festival in 1970 to see Jimi Hendrix. What a trip!!!

[@michelmendoza1769]

[@MaritSderlund]

[@richardsmith579]

I watched twenty seconds of this rubbish and gave up.

[@adriaandeleeuw8339]

So funny criticism of almost every forty hp vehicle as being underpowered, yet praise of the 36hp Volkswagen. The mention of four wheel drum brakes and brake fade.....US cars rarely had disc brakes until the seventies the reality is most British and European cars were used in urban environments or narrow rough country roads where you couldn't drive fast anyway and had high fuel taxes so big V8s were the rarity. It was a era where most normal cars did about eighty mph flat out and that was pushing it.

[@timelwell7002]

For a short time I owned a Citroen Ami 8 Estate - and I LOVED it. Sadly, I had an accident which wrote the car off. I loved the soft suspension and the sound of the air-cooled engine. It wasn't fast, but it was a hoot to drive. 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...

[@TobiasCat-s7n]

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!

[@thatcheapguy525]

at best a North American view of mostly European cars that's plagued with inaccuracies and completely misses the point of many of these cars. with better research and a understanding this could be a really good production. for example, the Hillman Imp has a water not air cooled engine and an opening rear window not hatchback.

[@RichardFord-d7x]

The first car i drove and past my test in was a citroen dyane 6 I loved it i also had a ami super8 estate and a citroen ds23 safari all wonderful reliable cars and very comfortable .

[@studiocalder818]

FIAT 600 was a great project. When it was presented at the Turin motor show, German journalists compared it to the VW1200 and highlighted that the 600 was smaller, with half the displacement, but more agile, more spacious and held the road better.

[@stefanrichter9162]

Borgward was a fantastic brand. Its upper class models like the Isabella where direct competitors to Mercedes Benz , and with more love to details and craftsmanship as the Mercedes. And to belittle the engine of the Goliath with 40hp 1100cc is not fair. The beetle 1200 from the same time had 30hp .

[@chilledoutpaul]

I love these types of videos, or i use to but not with Ai speech 😡.

[@neilbedford5082]

Some great cars here - some innovative, some charming, many very reliable or affordable and in the case of the Hillman, an effective rally car.

[@peterbuckley3877]

Say what you will about the Hillman Imp they were a fun car to drive, they were great for paddock bashing.

[@georgeperkins9381]

At least in remembering it was the 60's there was many styles and chose coming out with thought, not like now were you just get what is there and no options, it was a very different time it doesn't make to bring into today's vehicle it's completely different in times and wages were very little now they all look the same

18:00 …. An 1100cc engine kicking out 40 HP was not bad at all in those days!! Also when compaired to much larger American engines of the ‘50s 36HP to the litre isn’t a performance to be ashamed of….

[@charlesflint9048]

The French designed cars from the 1960s were weirdly ugly, however looking at them now, they are quite cool. The Bond Minicar in UK would have been better with 2 wheels at the front and 1 at the rear like the Morgan.

[@Ivo.m]

The only crappy here is your report 👎😕

[@lesklower7281]

The Datsun 1000 1200 in Australia was a good reliable car these cars contributed to the death of the British motor industry because they were so much more reliable than British built vehicles many sold in Australia so did the Toyota's

It's most of the videos from Classic Cars that should be classified "WORST and CRAPPY". Maybe they should consult Wikipedia if they want more accurate descriptions instead of this garbage!

Der Beitrag ist sinnlos, weil er die Autos absolut bewertet, ohne sie in ihrem wirtschaftlichen Kontext nach dem Krieg zu sehen und den Zweck, für den sie produziert wurden.

Most of these cars come from the early 50s. The heading tells that it is cars from the 60s. This video is one big peace of crap and those who produced it doesn´t understand how the cars in Europe worked in the years after the war. The Beetle was not much better than what the Saab was in these years.

[@bramvandenbroeck5060]

Well, tbh, if you take the saab 92, and make it electric, you have an awesome commuter car around town.

[@PeterCrosland]

Shove the air cooled Hillman Imp engine in it, in fairness you could say the same of all these ancient warriors. Fancy a Goliath myself. A Golly!

[@Lee-70ish]

Info in this is all bollocks . Nobody except the well heeled could afford a car post-war . The Nation was destitute The reason the imp failed over the mini was never performance. The Sunbeam imp was as quick as a Cooper. It was just a pain in the arse to work on 45 degree cant engine and tucked under the rear parcel shelf.

[@jacquesdehue2290]

The car was even built in Germany by NSU/Fiat as the Neckar Jagst. When I was born, my young parents owned a used one. They drove it from the Netherlands to Spain, with me in the travel cot on the back seat and camping equipment on the roof. Underwealming performance? My parents didn't worry about that at the time.

[@ljubastojanovic608]

Zastava 750 being made as absolute copy of FIAT 600, suffered from all design limitation of original. Some changes made during long years of production included removal of "suicidal" dors and improving the motor , last version 750LE having 34HP, bumpers, lights and some minor details were changed mainly to rise the price of the car. One could remark from the fotos shown here that simply there is not viewing angle where the shape of the car is not perfect and nice, this unique quality remains me of the little babies. Also, the front lights and visibility was better than on most of small and middle class cars. Max. speed was easilly 108km/h but it was not recomended to drive above 90km/h, being so short and having 135R 13 tyres as standard. Still, this was favorite model for Abarth . Serial or slightly improved models had a separate "national class car league" in Yugoslavia. Until 1980 all Driving scools were equiped with Zastava 750, Police was Using them and Medical service too, being ideal to reach isolate villages or homes.

Most of the cars when older become noisy and far from confortable ,this was confortable ,even today the fastback, so to speak is getting wrotten but the van and the car are still in pretty good condition, i have other 7 citroens

All this channel produces is ignorant clickbait full of BS.

[@BackToTheBlues]

(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!

[@RichardIngram-l1p]

DS pronounced Déesse (Goddess). And L’Ami 6 pronounced La Missis(the Mrs).

[@johnmarsh2078]

Badly researched and presented. The Bond Minicar and the Bond 875 are two very different beasts. The first is 2 stroke, front drive and slow, the second is rwd Imp engined and too powerful for the chassis. The great attraction was that they could be driven on a car or motorcycle licence in the UK and a motorcycle licence could be had at 16, 17 for cars. The weight had to be a maximum of 8 cwt by law which is why they were flimsy.
