All american cars, specially from the 60's, 70's and 80's are quite famous and common in Venezuela. The Chevy's Nova, Malibu, Impala, Caprice... the dodge Dart, and many others. Funny thing is that most of them are still rolling on the street. My father drives an 85 Jeep Wagoneer and a 79 Chevy Pannel (the really long one). I don't think they make cars like that anymore.
