Bring back the 1986 Monte Carlo, Thunderbird, Oldsmobiles and Pontiacs. As boxy as those cars looked, at least they had personality.
Yeah, yeah. I know those cars aren't even produced anymore.
Well, the Monte Carlo may still be in production. I'm not sure.
Yep, the mid-'80s were good for NASCAR and for the manufacturers. The decades-old "Race on Sunday, Sell on Monday" plan rolled more than a few Monte Carlos, Regals and T-Birds off of the showroom floors. That is no longer the case.
IMHO, though, NASCAR's zenith occurred between 1965 and 1970, that era of the Holman-Moody prepped Fords and the winged Mopars. I used to love watching the brief video summaries of the races on Wide World of Sports.
