Ah, the 1970s, home to some of the best and worst automobiles ever made. The 1970s saw the production of great American classics such as the Mustang Mach 1, the Challenger R/T Hemi, and the Plymouth Superbird.
Have you noticed something interesting about all of those cars?They were all made in the
early 1970s. The size of the American car was growing in direct relation to the size of the average American's waistline (I can say that; I'm American).
Mustang Mach 1?
How about a Mustang II
I was looking on Craigslist the other day (car shopping, my favorite activity), and I stumbled upon a Thunderbird from the 1970s. Keep in mind that the Thunderbird was their flagship, "were-better-than-corvette-because-reasons" car
Here "it" is:

You wanna know my favorite part of that car is? Read it aloud:
Landau TopsWhile saying that did a leisure suit just appear on you? Oh god, you're humming along to The Partridge Family, aren't you?
Anyway, the reason why I bring these up is because
Camoria Automotive went through this era. We'd like to think that we came out the other end relatively successful, too. Here's what we did:
We stuck to the classics
We saw beyond the trends of opera windows and green leather interior. We knew what the American people wanted because we delivered what the American people wanted for 20 years before that. We stuck to our ideas about design:
UnityFlowThese ideas propelled us through the 1970s. Were our cars as successful as the trends of that time? No. But, here's the thing:
That 1974 T-Bird? That was for sale for under $5k. When I was searching through craigslist the same day, I saw a Camoria from the same year:
$30,000. I checked on that car a day later. Sold
Most cars from the 1970s age like milk. Camoria's age like fine wine. Our cars are great, and will always be great because we stick to our ideas. Like we said in our previous messages, "Why make a car that won't be a classic?" Did the designer of that T-Bird really think that it was going to be a future classic?
