What automobile brands did you or close family own or drive a vehicle that the manufacturer in no longer in business

@Orca4950 Small world. I had a 1964 Comet. Green. Sod it in 1969 for peanuts when an electrical short fried the main main wire harness.

@Heartlander mercury brand of automobiles ceased with the 2008 crisis when Ford, GM and Chrysler dropped several brands. As a teenager the family had a mercury comet, which was fun to drive.

@Orca4950 As I remember, that Comet cost about $1,400 new. A few years later, in 1969 bought a Mercury Cougar for like $3,200. The Cougar was basically a fancy Ford Mustang. Cars were much cheaper then, even cheaper relative to income. The downside was that they didn’t last very long by today’s standard.

@fun4us2b A CLASSIC!!!😀

@bookerdana The story is, I played drums and the upside down fish tank had enough room for them!!! Then one night stopped at a red light I was rewinding my cassette tape and a Buick Electra T-Boned me and bent the firewall totaling the car....somehow, I saw it coming and jumped across to the passenger seat....funny thing is I had a 4sale sign on it for $1,680 and I got $2,200 from insurance.....then I bought a Dodge Dart just like this one - (don't ask, she wasn't included with mine....)

@fun4us2b Slant 6 will have to keep you warm...those things were oil,tires,brake beasts,often going 300k or more

@HumanEarth
I don't know too much about tractors, only how to drive the oldest ones that nobody wants to be seen driving by their friends!
