They were all just knock offs of GM, Ford and Chrysler. Some still exist--Buick, Lincoln and Dodge. AMC was just rebranded Rambler. How about Hudson, Studebaker, Tucker and Morris?Oldsmobile , Mercury, Pontiac, Plymouth. All good brands done in by poor management. My aunt still has her AMC Rebel.
Older brother of my best friend in school had a Goat exactly like this^ a smooth Hurst shifter and a thrum I remember like yesterdayPontiac had songs written about their cars. View attachment 721832
We had a 52 Nash 4 door when I was a kid. White over Pink. A real boat of a car but it got us where we needed to go.
With the exception of Edsel and AMC, I still see many cars on the road that are on that list.

Got a few car farmers out in the country by me too.There's a lot not far from where I live, with a whole bunch of rusty remains of Edsels.

A caretaker told me, some years ago, that all of those cars arrived there in excellent condition, a very long time ago, and were left there to rot.
There used to be (mid 70s) a guy south of there in Salida, that had a big collection of those--I wonder if they might be one and the same.There's a lot not far from where I live, with a whole bunch of rusty remains of Edsels.

It's dead Jim.The Willys brand lives on, today, as a trim name on some Jeep models.
I came across some interesting trivia, not long ago. When the Army put out a specification for a general purpose wheeled vehicle, (or GPW), two companies ended up manufacturing it—Ford and Willys. When the GPW ended up being nicknamed “Jeep”, Willys jumped on the name, and trademarked it. Both Ford and Willys continued to make the GPW, but because it had snagged the trademark to the name, only Willys could call theirs the Jeep. Willys ended up going through a number of name changes and instances of being bought up by a company that got bought up by another company, and so on. American Motors bought up what remained of Willys, at some point, only to end up being bought out by Chrysler, which much more recently got bought out by FIAT, which changed its name to FIAT-Chrysler, before buying up a major French automobile company, and changing its name to Stellantis. So, now Jeeps are made by Stellantis, which now owns that brand, and some of them bear the Willys brand, which is now also owned by Stellantis.
