  1. What’s wrong with the Zundapp Janus, the Amphicar, and the Peel Trident. They are great cars.

    hey your missing the 1990 geo tracker

  9. Well the 1981 De Lorean is not that bad

  10. i love the little peel trident it so cute 1966

  11. This article is pure garbage. I doubt that the author, Brad Riddell, has ever owned, driven or worked on most of the cars on his list. The Crosley Hotshot, Amphicar, Peel Trident and Zundapp Janus are all rare and highly desirable micro-minicars.
    Shame on the editors of Boy’s Life magazine for printing this obvious piece of tired old literary fluff and presenting it as though it was based on fact.

    • um…….ok

    • They are basing their figures on the lack of sales and constant problems. If you feel they are good cars, fine. But history shows them as failures. You can’t argue with that. They are so desirable now because there are very few of them left which makes them valuable and desirable. They’re still garbage. Point proven.

      You are right! This article is more than garbage, its about garbage! My dad says that all the cars on this list that he remembers were junk.

      Just because a car is “desirable”, doesn’t mean that it’s good!

  12. i think de lorean is a good car

    Yeah, these cars are kinda bad I realize that now because I read the articles in the magazine. But the De Lorean DMC-12 is cool.

    the worst steam car ever was made by A Catholic priest named Father Ferdinand Verbiest made a steam engined car, but it spat coal, burning passerbys and constantly needed more water and coal, and was seriously slow, you would have to make the engine bigger with more coal and water to get it going 3 Mph. .the worst gas powered one was the Mercedez Benz Karl in 1885.

    Where’s the Reliant Robin???

  22. No Pinto? Hasn’t anyone heard of Unsafe at Any Speed? And no Chevy Nova? The worst marketing blunder ever? (Chevy Nova bombed in Latin America due to the name — No Va = it doesn’t go).

    • I agree, because if you collide into anything with a ford pinto, it will be set on fire. What an unsafe car.

  23. 1920 car is the worst car ever

  24. I feel that a Delorian is a pretty cool car when it comes to looks.
    it has gull wing doors! Also it was used in Back To The Future. the only problem is the safty, it did noy do well on the crash tests. i saw a video of one crash test.(it went BOOM!)

  31. I actually think the delorian is not that bad because its in movie

  32. Had a Fiat Multipla , very comfortable , roomy and stable car. Design was changed in 2008 I lost interest in the new look.
