Big things were the vinyl pressings going from barely OK in the USA, to often defective due to all that recycled regrind, and seeing roomy big cars fall out of favor. And someone offering my boss insane money for his 1972 Mercedes-Benz 240D (which he was wise to get in 1973, and it's fuel efficiency was a good thing, as he was chief engineer at the AM/FM station I assisted him on, I now have that car). And our station manager buying one himself the week the fuel crisis hit (his neighbor had it for sale when his 1961 Lincoln Continental had to have a transmission rebuild done) for $1900. He got offers for triple what he paid, he kept the Lincoln, the Mercedes, and got a newer Lincoln. Also, this gas crisis also increased inflation (which I saw the effects on the station business)
