If I wanted to be flippant I would say Colt started going downhill when they quit using JMB designs, but I think it goes back even further than that. When you look at the history of the company it seems that bankruptcy is a feature, not a bug; I believe Sam C. hisself went bankrupt at least twice.

The Colt 1971 is so obscure I had to look it up: https://www.forgottenweapons.com/colt-tries-to-make-a-service-pistol-the-model-1971/

I picked up an All American 2000 for under $300 last year brand new in the box, just because. Have yet to shoot it; weep for me in advance. Quality aside, I still regret not picking up a new Anaconda in the mid-'90s for the $300-$400 they were going for then.
