9. AMC Pacer

The AMC Pacer was unlike anything else on American roads in the 1970s. Its huge, curved glass windows and unusually wide stance gave it a fishbowl appearance that was both futuristic and odd.
Billed as “the first wide small car,” the Pacer captured the era’s appetite for experimentation and bold design. Though polarizing, it became a pop culture icon, famously starring in movies and TV shows long after production ended. Smithsonian Magazine
