My family bought a diesel IH Scout in the 70s. Its probably the worst car I've ever ridden in. 0-60 in an afternoon with a tailwind, horrible suspension, noisy, etc. It was replaced by an early 80s Jeep Cherokee, which was a huge upgrade. So Scout isn't something I'm super nostalgic about..

This made me chuckle, you have a point. Diesels are much much better to drive when turbo charged - I wasn’t alive in the 70s but am curious what the expectations were for passenger vehicles made by a tractor company, it was presumably a “tank” though
