Naming vehicles that are 40 years old really has no relevance on today's vehicles, import or domestic. And like other commentors stated, there were not very many imports being sold in the 70's compared to domestics, making a 70's import tough to find.

The 70's domestics had great steel? Oh I just had my laugh of the day. There were not too many Toyotas or Datsuns (Nissans) around back then as they were not the top sellers they are today. You don't see many of them because they weren't ever here in huge numbers. Domestic cars rusted out just as fast and usually weren't as reliable mechanically. My first car was a 6 year old Chevy that was so rotted out it was pretty much unrestorable without major frame rebuilding and complete scrapping of many of the body panels. It was only 6 years old.
