The HBO/Max limited series Duster (2025) brings back memories from community college when we had access to the family's1972 yellow Plymouth Duster with the black vinyl roof. This was no jacked-up red cherry Duster roadster as depicted in this limited series, but a noteworthy vehicle nonetheless. Our Duster was more family car whose color indicated it just might be a lemon as well. Built by the Big Three during the Energy Crisis these cars were flawed automotive products, prone to oil leaks due mostly to cheap engine gaskets requiring frequent servicing. (The Motor City/UAW protecting their financial lifeblood.) In the 5-6 years we owned the car it once required a new engine when we ran out of oil on the Lodge Freeway and a new front end when we skidded off the snowy service drive at the college, severing 3 gaslights at their bases. Noteworthy, and with time & treatment, streaming in 2027✌🏾
