Where’s the Bubble?
The Pacer looks so squarely different now -
its long hood just says “Vega,” “Pinto,” “Gremlin;”
that narrow back hatch makes us wonder how
we thought it could be practical to drive in.
But at the time, mid-Seventies it was,
the Pacer was a bubble-car and wide:
a little curved glass made the look because
it jeered conformity - a classy ride
