It is a toss up. either a 1957 Goliath or a Pontiac Astre.
Come to think of it, I have only owned a few Pontiacs, and they were all junk.

1984 Buick Regal Estate Wagon... beautifull car that was from the pit of hell.

Just after the warrenty expired the freeze out plugs began leaking... come to find out they never cleaned the block (remove casting sand) after coming from the foundry!

It was the only car I got rid off... traded it.

Wasn't the Astre considered to be Pontiac's version of the Chevy Vega?

1974 Mercury Marquis Brougham. It's bad enough that it sucked gas at a record rate but it was a hundred dollar bill every time I turned around for repairs. After 2 months I cried "UNCLE"!
