Fortune have recently illustrated some of the automotive industry's greatest failures. Here are some names with which you may or may not be familiar. If I am honest I only know Tucker and DeLorean, but hey, we are here to learn new things, eh?
Crosley Motors (1939-1952)
Tuck Corporation (1944-1949) - made famous by the George Lucas produced movie: Tucker: The Man and His Dream
Cunningham Motors (1950-1955)
Bricklin Motors (1974 - 1976)
DeLorean Motor Company (1975 - 1982) - the Back to the Future car
Vector Motors (1971 - 1993)
Perhaps when I get more time I will have a look at some of the lesser known car companies in due course.
