Too true!
For months I was thinking it was a Ford truck.
My son said, "no Dad, it's a Chevy for Pete's sake! "
Next time I drove it, I looked looked down at the emblem on the steering wheel.  Humph!
Most days I can remember I've a Chevy out there in the driveway.
For over 25 yrs I drove a red, extended cab, 8' bed, Chevy for the county. Loved that truck...rode soft as a Buick.
Mine rides like a friggin chuckwagon. Must be the color?

It has to be the color because my F150 is bright red and it is a fine ride. And we all know that red goes faster!😁

Plus the British SUCK at making cars.
That's the truth! Like the "two fuse" electrical system! Like the adjustable voltage regulators that barely worked, ever! On and on.....

NICE Kubelwaggen AMAC! Really, really nice!

Was that year's MGB with the raised bumpers?

Not the chrome bumper one but the rubber bumper ones. This is like the one I had with the tan interior.

As the joke goes, why do the British drink warm beer? Lucas refrigerators. I've had switches come apart in my hands.
