I saw this and thought I would share it with you guys. As the title says it's a list of 10 iconic brands that have disappeared over the years. The list includes companies like Oldsmobile as well as Pan Am, Amoco, and Hummer just to name a few. The link to the full list is posted below.

Don't forget Pontiac, Plymouth, SAAB, AMC, and Mercury.

 

Two of my personal favorites... Bummer.

 

We may not have seen the last of Saab. They have filed for bankruptcy, but the bankruptcy laws in Sweden state that though they have filed for bankruptcy they can be bought out of bankruptcy and there are a few bids to buy the company out. The two I miss the most are Oldsmobile and Plymouth.

 

Amoco fuel is still around, just sold at BP's.

 

Amoco was sold at BP's. As of 2008 BP has mostly discontinued selling Amoco fuels in favor of BP gasoline with invigorate.

 

Hummer being called "Iconic"? That sure seems like a misuse of the word.

 

I think the first Hummer that is on the same platform as the military vehicle could be called iconic. After that (H2, etc), meh.

 

Too bad for Pontiac.. Always liked them.

Ones I've owned:

1955 Poncho Cheiftain

1960 Catalina

1964 Bonneville

1966 GTO

 

Local store here still displays Amoco. Funny, when I lived in SC, BP was usually higher, here, it's cheaper. Might be an old sign, dunno. I usually buy mine at either Shell or Kroger to get use my bonus points...
