the rise and fall of america's favorite car makers

From Plymouth to DeLorean, these 15 American car brands once filled the roads, the racetracks, and the showrooms. Then they disappeared. Here is the story of how each one rose, and why it vanished. In this video: Plymouth, DeSoto, Mercury, Saturn, Hudson, Kaiser, Willys, Crosley, Checker, Duesenberg, Pierce-Arrow, Cord, Edsel, Tucker, and DeLorean. Some were crushed by giants, some were abandoned by their own parent companies, and some were simply ahead of their time. Which one do you remember? Tell me in the comments which of these cars your family owned, or which brand you wish was still around.
