Chrysler was bailed out in 1979 and again in connection with the 2008 melt down. I'm not sure if the Chrysler bailout in 1979 was the first one, but that is the first one I remember, and it was controversial at the time.
Yes, you are correct.

In the "nothing is new" dept:

WASHINGTON, July 20, 1957 (AP) --Representative F. Edward Hebert, Democrat of Louisiana, said today that more than $25,000,000 of Defense Department money had been spent to "bail out" the Studebaker-Packard Corporation when it encountered a financial squeeze.
Why is “bail out” in quotes?
Was it economic aid or not?

Quite possibly they had defense contracts with the DoD and could not fulfill them without additional money. Who knows.

Bailing out GM was a big mistake. The bar was set very high for “too big to fail”.

Not nearly as capable or handy as the Amarok.
4 doors and a 2 grocery bag bed. Besides, how many owners really drive off the road? Very few. In my view, that thing is about as handy as a mud pie.

My cousin has a Maverick, very happy with it and he gets 40 mpg.

We really need to get back to 'Built in America' and away from foreign junk or we will all be eating raw fish with chopsticks soon.

My views and yours may differ but I know I'd never own one of those. Besides, it looks like a turd.

No one is going to destroy the country; they're just going to change the culture, size and scope of government, rule of law, etc. We've handed off rulemaking to unelected bureaucrats, we've dumbed down our population, dissolved our border integrity, sold out our future generations, and handed off world power to the Chinese. All the while we've intermingled government agencies with the "private" corporations that control the distribution of information, our leaders promote policies that select winners and losers in industry, and there is constant social pressure to conform to ever changing "values" that are preached to us daily. We've formed a fascist system. Not ****, classic Italian fascist by Mussolini's own definition. If that makes you want to roll your eyes, get over it.

Don't worry, the United States isn't going anywhere, not that it means anything.
Sadly, our generation will be remembered as the generation that wanted it all, got it all and pizz on everything else. Heck of a legacy.

Stude might have been around in 1857. They started out making horse drawn wagons in Fort Wayne before the motor cars.
I was going to go to trusty Google and look it up. I was thinking that but the article says the defense dept budget gave $20million. I don't think the US budget in 1857 was much more than that for everything probably.

LOL!
Here I thought you were talking about THE Ford Maverick, you know, the car from the '70's.
I was wondering how he could be getting 40 mpg in that?!
