Demand was so high for the Avanti that Studebaker, being a small company compared to the big 3 couldn't build them fast enough so buyers got tired of waiting and bought a Buick Riviera instead which was in its targetted market. None of these cars were stupid. They all sold fairly well.
The 1963 Pontiac Tempest was marketed as a 'senior compact', and would grow to be a mid-size car for 1964. How could the 1963 Tempest compete with the Chevelle when there was no Chevelle yet? Then you talk about the 1965 Rambler Rebel which was a 2-door hardtop, while showing pictures of the 1964 Rambler Classic 6 cylinder 4-door sedan. The optional AMC 327 V8 in a 1965 Rambler Classic / Rebel certainly competed with other manufacturer's muscle cars. Why would you compare the mid-size Rebel to the Mustang and Camaro compact pony cars, expecially since there would be no Camaro until 1967? In short, your video is a boatload of hogwash.
Who is this guy, those cars are part of our life during the sixties. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I'm with you man, he sounds like an Aussie and we all know how stupid they are
The only thing stupid are your suppositions.
