In 1972 my father ditched the long history of owning Volkswagens to buy a Ambassador wagon and a Matador sedan. Junk. I have written before on the forum about the seatbelt interlock (no-start without being buckled in) that would fail and leave us stranded.

And the styling, well, let's just say it was NOT a chick magnet.
