That's a real shame. Hard to believe there were so many that have exited.

WOW. Really impressive John. I guess one could also consider Auburn and Cord since we're including the Duesey.

At 72 I sure as hell miss AMC, Plymouth, Pontiac (especially for that ‘70 T-A i once had), Oldsmobile, Studebaker and more. I’m glad to have lived then. I might throw in a regret for Saturn although i’ve never owned one but the family members that did loved them.

@perrone1 I quite agree Tony. Having owned a Pierce Arrow makes me want to include it as well.

Great picture. I was here for all except Dusenberg and Tucker.

There was also Edsel, although some might want to forget about it.

There must be a few thousand or more brands that have vanished worldwide since 1900.
The more you think about them, the more you remember. My first car was a 1954 Singer SM 1500 Roadster. Long gone too.
