In the late 1950s, the United States saw the beginning of foreign cars being imported. This posed very little threat to the market share held by the big three because the quality of the foreign cars was very poor. The 1960s are best remembered as the muscle car era. This was a time of low gas prices and high horsepower. During this time ... 1970s, the United States felt a huge increase in the price of gas.
