“Crown Victorias, Chevy Caprice wagons, Plymouth Furies, and maybe a Corvette or older Chevy Nova for a smaller car.”

Yeah, but we see these cars whenever someone does some kind of “period 80’s piece” (Even though the 80s Nova was a Toyota Corolla, the Fury wasn’t around in the 80s)

I had a Caprice sedan. That thing had power. The other cars were toys. The car that was a real car for me was my 87 Olds Cutlass Supreme. I miss that thing. I used to think they would be around forever and I would be able to buy one at any point for $100. I was very, very wrong.

I meant to say Gran Fury (M Platform). I had the Dodge Diplomat AND the last Chrysler V8 sedan for over a decade, the 1989 Chrysler Fifth Avenue. The worst car I ever owned was a 1987 Honda Civic Hatchback. I despised that car, and it acted like it knew it.

Not everyone gets to drive a new car, so in the '80s there were a lot of '70s cars still on the road. Of course, the Omni/Horizons, Checy Citations and Chevettes didn't hold up very well. The Toyota Corolla wasn't a "thing" in the New England where I grew up. Fewer Fords, more Chryslers, and in those days Honda over Toyota.
