That's an exciting car, FlightGear. But I'll be honest with you, I am not a nationalist or a humanist or any other "ist" and that Chrysler car is chiefly a product of American engineering coupled with American marketing savvy. America made that car far as the engineering- plus quite a few other world market cars sold in the Amercas and Europe. America dominated the crap about of world car engineering efforts for many decades after WWII, with a few exceptions. Those exceptions are mainly German and Italian cars made by corporations involved in racing programs. In the '70s there were finally came some Japanese cars that were also well-made (Toyota, Mazda) and had high performance numbers. Frankly, I cannot think of a single new Zealand/ Australian- originated brand that was of any merit as a native car design, and I am not trying to be mean. Now, I know you saw a ton of those cars as a kid and I am not diminishing your experience. Many cars are also well manufactured by native builders. But it is the Americans, Germans, Italians, and Japanese mainly who dominated cars from about 1950 to around 2000. Lately I think it is possible for other brands, thinking South Korea and China, but during 1950-2000 it was the above countries who made the great cars.
