Today on my way to the mailbox I happened to really notice something that normally only gets a passing glance -- it was a vehicle by Eagle called a Summit.
Now I am indeed old enough to recall that at one time Eagle was its own company. Then as things were getting bad financially for them, they were taken over by American Motors.
Does any of this sound familiar to anyone???
What happened to American Motors? Well they in turn went through a decline only to be swallowed up by Dodge / Chrysler who out of the deal ended up with the Jeep brand, the last thing of value in American Motors.
But I’m getting ahead of myself.
As I looked at that old Eagle Summit I was reminded that there is also no longer the Pontiac brand … or Oldsmobile … Hummer is gone … as is Saturn. Other than Saturn, which for the life of me I am unsure why it did not continue, I think I know what happened to the others.
Boredom … lack of uniqueness … no originality … poor quality … etc, etc. They all became too much the same!
Okay so this is a political blog … what do a few old car companies, that no one remembers anyways; have to do with anything today.
