These Cars Are Thought To Be The Worst Of All Time

Chevrolet Vega (1971–77)

The 1970s were a time for new ideas, and the Chevrolet Vega tried to a few new design options. These included new engine manufacturing and rustproofing processes that were praised when the Vega was released. It even won the 1971 Motor Trend Car of the Year award for its “innovative” design. However, these innovations proved to be its downfall. The new processes made the Vega extremely vulnerable to corrosion and rusting. Plus, the aluminum engines wore out very quickly leading Chevy Vegas to be scrapped at an alarming rate. Many did not make it out of the 1970s and junk yards were overrun with them.
