Hey, remember that time Trump couldn't safely fly on the definitely-not-a-bribe plane Qatar gave him and instead had to fly on the old Air Force One because the gift plane didn't have the necessary defense systems installed? Good times. Turns out, the real story is at least a hundred times funnier (and far darker) than what was originally reported. According to the Washington Post, Trump was so afraid Iran would assassinate him, he pulled a Carlos Ghosn and snuck off the old Air Force One. This time, though, instead of a speaker case, he reportedly used a catering truck.

As a result, some fairly famous flops were introduced during the '70s. Yet like perhaps the most famous automotive failure of all time — the Ford Edsel — some of those 1970s failures are finding a second life on the collectors' market.
