In 1968, Plymouth added yet another spin-off of the trusty Belvedere to the lineup (after the Satellite and the GTX): the Road Runner. A no-show, all-go machine for the average Joe who had a lead foot and a light wallet, the new Plymouth was equally assorted, with an affordable price and a hefty punch. The first generation was by far the main star of the nameplate, and 1969 was the best year for the humble-looking muscle car.

The tiny house movement started out as a minimalist revolution as people sought to simplify their lives and break free from the excesses of modern living. In the beginning, tiny homes were basically do-it-yourself small buildings equipped with just the bare necessities, but over the years, manufacturers discovered there was plenty of space for experimentation in the realm of tiny house design.

The Fairlane, introduced in 1955 and canceled at the end of the 1970 model year, endured as a staple of Ford Motor Company for sixteen years. Its replacement, the Torino, lasted only until 1976 (after it was first used in 1968 as an up-scale variant of the Fairlane). Scrapping two nameplates in one year (the Fairlane and the Falcon) wasn’t to the public’s taste, as sales dropped considerably in 1971.
