Pan Am remains in zombie form but TWA is gone for good as American Airlines has stated that they want their former competitor buried for ever. May Carl Icahn enjoy his cancerous prostate.....

How about some legendary vehicle brands: Duesenberg and Indian? Duesenberg is still part of common vocabulary: “That’s a Doozy!”

I had a 1971 Gremlin too. Remeber that back window? Tiny little metal hinges holding it on?
Mine rusted. One day I was just driving down the road - damn window just fell off the damn car. Busted all over the road.
Just Damn.

And chicklets. I hadnt noticed they were gone
You can still buy all the Chicklets you want off the street kids peddling them on the bridge at Laredo ... evidently the gum of choice in Mexico.

“the Dry Beer” BWAAAA!
“During the cleanup of the WTC site following the collapse of the towers on September 11, 2001, numerous Rheingold beer cans were found in the rubble, having been hidden in the beams of the building decades earlier by construction workers who had drunk the beers on the job.”
Olde Frothingslosh was started as a spoof, and was also known as the “Pale Stale Ale!”

I regularly buy chiclets from the local Dollar Tree. The brand isn’t dead in North America.

LOL - ok, that is a new one ...
I have all kinds of parts fall off of my various rust buckets in my younger days - a fender, the brake lines, once even, the A/C unit...
Bu I never had a window fall out.

How many big brands went down the tubes just during the Obama reign? As I said in the fall of 2008 "It's time to put on the lime green polyester leisure suit, slap on some Hai Karate, Brush with Pearl Drops, grab the Binacca, hop in the Javlin, and crank up the Starland Vocal Band because wer'e going back to 1978 baby!"

Chiclets ARE still around. Back in the day, Chicklets were included with each C-ration meal.
C-rats have morphed into MREs, and I believe Chicklets survived the transition.
