The Peel Trident
In 1964, the Peel Trident was launched at the British Motorcycle Show. The intention was to use it as an “occasional two-seater.” In 1966, the production of the strange little car was stopped by the Peel Engineering Company. While the Trident is gone, the legend lives on. In an episode of the Discovery Channel show Monster Garage, host Jesse James was able to find a Trident and attempted to fit it with a new frame and motorcycle engine. The experiment was a failure and James destroyed the vehicle for his TV audience to see.

The PT Cruiser
There comes a time when everything which was old is new again. The PT Cruiser is a perfect example of this. Chrysler released this retro-style car with the intention of using nostalgia as a weapon. If the only performance had been taken into account by the car company. The PT Cruiser didn’t succeed in attracting the attention of consumers, who preferred better overall performance and more modern-looking cars. Around the same time that this car was released, Ford also attempted to relaunch the Thunderbird but also got a lukewarm reception.
