Automotive History.

The 1970s started out with a bang through the continued domination of high-performance muscle cars like the Dodge Challenger, Pontiac GTO and Oldsmobile 442, as well as European classics like the Porsche 911 and Ferrari Daytona. However, with the oil crisis of 1973 and more stringent emissions regulations, smaller and more fuel-efficient Japanese imports from Honda, Toyota and Nissan took over the American market in the second half of the decade.
