The Pinto Was A Problematic Car Known For Fires And Rear-End Collisions
This is a Pinto that Ford Motor Company lent to a newspaper company so they can conduct consumer testing. You can see from the photo that the car caught fire thanks to faulty wiring as a photographer was shooting it for some automobile supplement. The subcompact vehicle was in production from 1971 until 1980. It was a controversial vehicle because of the fuel tank design. The result had been rear-end collisions, deadly fires, and ruptured fuel tanks. The fatal crashes earned the automaker two lawsuits. In 1978, the company recalled 1.5 million Ford Pintos and Mercury Bobcats, which accounted for the biggest automotive recall back then.
