Problem is all of the regulations that have come into effect starting in
1966 and continuing to this day. Things like the FMVSS that gave us safety
knobs on the dash up through the 1995 requirement for 1998 cars and 1999
light trucks to have dual air bags.
In other words for GM to build a 57 Chevvy (or a 65 Corvair) today would
either be illegal, unrecognizable, or absurdly expensive.
