Whatever rust problems the 1970 Cougars may have had, they didn't hold a candle to cars of the 50's and 60's. I went to college in Iowa in 1957-59, and one of my fellow students from Detroit had a 10-month-old 1957 Ford that was already starting to rust out. I saw 1955 and 1956 Buicks that the entire rear quarter panels outside the wheel cutouts had rusted away. I would think that if you were in a garage with one of those, you could have heard it rust. The 1957-1959 Chrysler products were fairly serious rusters as well. I'm not claiming that I haven't seen 1970's and later cars with rusted-out spots, but not nearly so many, and not so badly rusted.
Guys, the prime economic rationale to "Buy American" is the profit remains in the U.S.
I hate to bang on this drum... But how many tag lines are they going to go through? Honda has had theirs for coming on 20yrs. Nissan's Shift.. isnt particurlally interesting.. but it does mention actually driving the car. Toyota.. well they had What a Feeling... but now even they are slogging through this. Id just like to know.. how much this tag line shit.. costs them every coupla years.
