Buy ICONIC CARS OF THE 1970S

The 1970s represented a transition for the automobile. Indeed, it was during this period that the first oil shock occurred in 1973. The change in the oil supply had the consequence of strongly directing the production of manufacturers towards more economical models, but also less polluting. It becomes imperative to prioritize the manufacture of cars corresponding to the needs of customers which have changed. Car expenses have a greater impact on the transport budget of families who seek to limit the impact on their daily lives.

It was therefore during the 1970s that we saw more small, popular cars arrive on the market which, while remaining family-friendly, also had a utility vocation (Renault R5, Peugeot 104, VW Golf, etc.). The crisis is also fatal to powerful and prestigious models like the Citroën SM. Furthermore, some emblematic brands such as Ferrari, Maserati or Jaguar continue in the same spirit as before by targeting very wealthy customers. These iconic cars in which each of us has driven, popular, sporty or prestigious, find them in this book for a nostalgic ride.
