Nader's Nemesis: Ralph Nader kneecapped this popular compact car (pictured, above) in his 1965 book Unsafe at Any Speed. But the Chevy had slick, minimalist styling at a time when other Detroit designs were overwrought.
Best of the lot: The Lakewood wagon, which debuted in 1961 and had the performance—not to mention surf-wagon capaciousness—other cars in its category don't.
Past five years: Some models are topping 20 percent growth. "If it's bad enough for Nader to hate," says McKeel Hagerty, a leading insurer of collectible cars, "it makes some people think they're going to love it." (Average 2014 sale price: $7,539. Highest sale price: $39,600, in 2013.)
