Re: Why Did Classic American Cars Offer So Many Engine Options?
You know what nobody talks about? The weird middle-ground engines that flopped. Pontiac had some odd displacement options that nobody remembers because they were underpowered and overpriced.

The maintenance costs on these cars were brutal, honestly. My dad owned a '72 Pontiac with a 455 engine, and keeping that thing running was expensive even back then. Insurance was cheap but upkeep? Not so much.
