    Dunno....

    "Zimmer" means "Room" in German :p

    OT: Speaking of semi-bad names I present you the 1957 Gaylord Gladiator Sports Tourer. I thought the two Prototypes were scrapped but apparently one of them still exists... and it looks pretty badass tbh

    The ford maverick should of got more attention because it had a 302 V8, but it was also very lightweight

    When I looked it up, I found out that it had 15 horsepower, was made almost entirely from plastic, and could only hit 50 miles per hour. That does seem like it'd be horrible to drive.

    Just because a car is ignored doesn't mean it's underrated; why, if it's ignored by even most car enthusiasts, then most of the time, it will be pretty bad.

    However, these are what I call underrated.

    The 1950 Excalibur, built on a Kaiser Henry J chassis and powered by a hopped-up Willys flathead L6, dominated SCCA D-modified racing from 1950 to 1952. Despite having roughly 150 horsepower, it could beat Ferraris with double the power and triple the sophistication around a race course. It even could keep up with the C-modified Jaguar C-types around some circuits, and beat them, as well. Unfortunately, only three were made, which is a bit of a shame considering how ridiculously awesome it was.
    '

    The 1970 Monteverdi Hai, a Chrysler 426-powered Swiss supercar with a body designed by Frua, was one of the fastest and best sports cars of the early 1970s. It may not have had a screaming Italian V12 to go with its beautiful Italian body, but it did have a 175-mile-per-hour top speed (in 450 GTS form), a sensational soundtrack provided by that big Chrysler engine, and a decent amount of handling for its nearly-two-ton weight. Unfortunately, only two prototypes were built.

    An (aesthetically successful) attempt to blend American and Italian styling in one car over a Plymouth 'Cuda chassis and engine. Too bad financial troubles stopped it after just 40 were made.

    The Cascada.

    Plenty people don't even know this exists. IMO, this is my favorite Buick, just because it's more to appreciate since Buick is in the same situation Chevrolet is in. Plus, who wouldn't like a american (I know that the Cascada also comes from Opel and Vauxhall, but is still built by a American-originated company here in the US) luxury coupe-cabriolet 4-seater?
