@brendabaloyan Your right Japanese cars are very reliable. That being said I find them very boring as well. I have a toyota corolla for my commuter car. Never given me any problems and is great on gas. But for fun, I am buying a corvette. With the exception of the Nissan GTR, Japan doesnt make anything as exciting as the Corvette.
My two realtor friends each owned Mercedes Benzes, and both of them would tell me of the horror stories of owning those cars, that they were the least reliable cars they had ever owned, with a lot of electrical problems & malfunctions, engines and transmissions acting up, and a lot of other glitches that made them very unreliable!..both of my friends finally got fed up of paying 2.5K-6K in repair bills that they got rid of those cars and are now driving Cadillacs with zero problems!..how’s that?
he quit bonaza because he got tired of saying ‘Pa’ at his age.
hahahahha electrical systems designed by benny hill!!!lmao
Better yet, don’t buy a ‘Vette-buy a Honda, Toyota, or Nissan sport model and tune the thing up, then customize it!
He was in Trapper John M.D. as well……(Pernell Roberts)
This is actor Pernell Roberts from the TV series Bonanza making this 1965 Corvette commercial, for all of you who don’t know.
Really?…is that right??…I had a 1991 Chevy Silverado that I finally sold with 310,000 original miles on the clock!…it NEVER broke down on me, idiot!!…for your information, American cars are the most reliable vehicles in the world, MORON!!!…also, for your information, I have NEVER seen anybody restore a Japanese car like American classic cars like Chevy Bel-Airs, Impalas, Corvettes, Ford Mustangs, Dodges & Plymouth Barracudas, and many other muscle cars!!…THAT TELLS YOU SOMETHING!!!!!
$4,600.00 in 1965 dollars is around 50k today. A standard chevy cost around $2500 then and today one costs $25,000.
I bought a brand new XKE.. I had no problem.
762SLR762: can’t say that I agree with your opinions on cars, but I certainly agree with some of your political positions…the PC left-wing media’s really full of shit. Peace
762SLR762: For your information, 60′s era British cars were dripping, leaking, rattling, squeaking, atrocities with electrical systems designed by Benny Hill. Even today, British cars are not competitive with the best from Germany, Japan, and even some of the better American cars. Great Britain is a great country, but they have never in their entire history offered a truly world class mass-produced car.
4-wheel disc brakes? in 1965? wow, it is a great car
@Bcarby: I know. Probably because these cars are so well liked by so many people, I think.
yes, but the appreciation is exponential
@bcarby: Many top-notch Corvettes do sell for that much nowadays.
Truth is, though, $4,600 in 1965, would be only around $21,000 today.
That wasn’t the point. You said that Aston, Jaguar and Lotus were amongst the worst not that Japanaese cars are the most reliable. And you’re wrong anyway – Nissan has an awful reputation in Europe. Jaguar is 2nd only to Lexus in global reliability, Aston is building the best performance cars ever built – the DBS is probably the best sub £200k car on t he road and check out the all new Lotus Evora and Exige S. You really need to get out nore and look past those jap boxes of plastic.
Japanese cars are the most Reliable cars in the World now!!! You don’t have to smoke dope to know that!!!
The Jaguar XFR, Aston Martin DBS and Lotus Evora – among the worst!!!! you’re smoking dope.
Yep! They were very popular around the World!!! But not the best!!! Now they are among the worst!!!
@bren
No dude, American cars have never been No.1 in the world. In the 60s the best sports cars were being made by Jaguar, Aston Martin and Lotus.
When American cars were No. 1 in the World! This used to be a hell of a good country!
“new this year–disc brakes”—-yeah, FINALLY! The Sting Ray’s competitors like Ferrari and Jaguar had had them for about five years by this time! I’ve always wondered why GM allowed its only sports car to lag in technology for so long. I still love the Sting Ray, though–one of the coolest cars of all time! Great commercial–this is a nice find.
VHS was not invented untill the eary1970′s. DAMN! People get your history RIGHT!
