By and large, it was the era of big engines, bigger cars, and extraordinarily low mileage figures. The designs were unique, the prices weren't sky-high (relative to income, that is), and the 1972 film "The Godfather" was doing wonders at the box office. However, before these manufacturers found themselves strangled by legislation and the changing market, we got some gems that live on in history. For instance, there was a pickup truck with rear-facing jump seats in the actual bed of the vehicle. That's to say nothing of the plethora of land-yachts with the turning radii of battleships -– all of these were vehicles with soul, but ones that would never come to market today.
