Well, what Seventies reflections would be incomplete without noting the dirth of "new design" in the Automobile industry. The Gremlin was not in itself a horrible car by any means, in fact by today's standards it hardly looks bad and next to the later AMC creation THE PACER it's beautiful.That was the 70's though. Things like Le Car, The Pacer, The Gremlin, Those weird Bubble window car/station wagons. In fact the Bubble window always caught my attention. I wanted my parents to get bubble windows in our house.
The only real memory I have of the AMC Pacer was from one of those friends you have for a year or two and during that year or two they are your best friend. His name was scott and he came from a divorced family and that in itself was a new thing for me...He had a pretty cool mother and sister and we used to have sleepovers at his house. I remember seeing Phantom of the Paradise at his place one Saturday night. I think I was the only one who made it up until the end.
For overall importance to our lives in the 70's and beyond
I am going to give it 2 out of 5 nerf footballs
