Although the Yugo was not imported into the US after 1991, these East-European 4-wheeled tin cans were quietly in production up until November 2008.

In the U.S. the Yugo is best remembered as being the Euro-equivalent to the Edsel or Aztek, as it was most often on the receiving end of jokes, some of which are:
Why does a Yugo have a defroster on the rear window? To keep your hands warm while you push it.

What do you call a Yugo's shock absorbers? Passengers.

The Yugo came out with an air bag. Before an accident you had to start pumping real fast though.

How do you double the value of a Yugo? Fill the gas tank!

What do you call a Yugo at the top of a hill? A miracle.

1969 M-505 Adams Brothers Probe 16
Powered by a mid-mounted Austin 1800 engine and standing only 34 inches in height. To get in you go through the sliding glass roof. The Probe 16's claim to fame is from the movie "A Clockwork Orange" where it was called a "Durango '95". The cars were designed by former Marcos cars designers Dennis and Peter Adams.
