What I like about the 1980's was the abundance of coupes and convertibles that will most likely never be seen again. Although I'm not particularly a Chrysler fan, I recognize that company was in the forefront bringing back the convertible, and shortly afterwards just about every manufacturer had at least one in their lineup, even Yugo. Today it's mostly cookie cutter SUV and crossovers on the dealer lots once looking past the forest of crew cab pickup trucks. I also give Chrysler credit for their going full on with 4 cylinder turbos for most of the 1980's. That engine configuration nearly disappearing in the 90's due to emission complications, but is again very popular today.

The first car I ever bought for myself was the Dodge version of the Chrysler LeBaron convertible. It was a 1985 model that I bought in almost new condition in 1990. I decided I needed a 4 door sedan in 1992 and traded it for a forgotten car of the 90s (and the worst car I’ve ever owned), a 1992 Pontiac LeMans sedan. The little 4 cylinder sedan that was a badge engineered Opal. It was a very German looking car which was about the only good thing I can say about. I traded it in 1994 for a new V-6 powered Dodge Shadow hatchback which was a much better car.

I owned a exp . Got great gas mileage 40 + mpg. You could lift the rear floor up turn it around and reinsert it as a seat back . I used to haul four people all the time, no seat belts but we didn't care about safety back then lol. Great car for a young person loved it. Only problem I had was the car was so small and lightweight that on two lane roads when a semi passed you it wanted to blow you off the road and would lift the windshield wiper off the window.

This was an interesting topic. I enjoyed the video. I was shocked at one car on the list the Lincoln Town Car. No one has forgotten the Lincoln Town Car. They miss it too. I agreed with the other choices. I liked the footage and what was shared. You could do a video on GM's downsizing efforts of the 1980's( 1985-1989) that were later upsized in the early 1990's. That is a series by itself and the fact that Ford/Lincoln and Chrysler cashed in on this too. This was a good and informative video.

In 1984 I bought a brand new Mercury Capri RS. It had the 'bubble back window' hatchback. The person who originally ordered the car planned to race autocross. It had the 302ci V8 with a 650cfm Holley carb, dual exhaust, 5 speed and a performance 'chip'. The car engine dyno'ed at 305 HP instead of the 'normal' 175 HP. It was incredible fun and yet with the hatchback, my wife could have a blast driving to the grocer/running errands. It had no air conditioning or electric windows so it was very light weight. Another car that comes to mind was the 1983 Dodge/Plymouth Colt Turbo, nicknamed the "Pocket Rocket". It was very quick when that turbo kicked in!

I had a Shelby GLH (Goes Like Hell) for a few months, bought it new off the lot. It was truly a fast little car and smoked just about everything, the problem was the torque steer. If you didn't have it pointed dead straight when you hit the gas it was absolutely going to shoot off in the direction it was pointed. When you tried to correct it the car would go full lock the other direction. I crashed it twice in two weeks. I think I paid $12k for it new and after about 2 months sold it for half. Good riddance.

@@nucleargrizzly1776 And that "premium" is what I got to skip. I bought my Sunbird (a pretty much fully-loaded model, at that) for just $3,500 a couple years back. It needed some new stuff, like rear shocks, brakes needed TLC, sway-bars needed replacement, fluids changed. All in all, I'd say maybe 1.5k in repairs. In hindsight, the fully loaded tier-7 package would definitely not have been worth however much the previous owner paid, seeing the amount of money I had to put into preventative maintenance (which people didn't know about when the J-body was new), but for only 5k for a car this reliable, yet fun, I'd say the second-hand ones are worth it IF found in decent shape.

Yugo. And 5. I know this is a truck but still wish they were made, the Jeep j-10 full size pickup. Somehow you can envision the big ram pickup with Jeep design features since it's the same company.

Parked at the end of my driveway, something I learned. Here comes This lady knocking on my door asking me how much I want it for the car. I said what that I said they catch on fire. She gave me $2,500 bucks for it. The car is 3 to 5 years old. I forgot an exactly what year it was but it was late 88 to mid 89 when I sold it

There was a reason we forgot about many of theses such as the EXP and Cadillac Cimarron the were terrible. My 2.2 liter dodge charger was an OK car but it could have used more pep and better handling, handling being its weakest point.

Car shows and museums always have the cool, the hot cars. I have never been wealthy, nor had disposable income to speak of, but have always thought it would be cool to have a collection of the less popular, more under the radar cars of history for show/museum because while the hot, hip and cool were show and go...these other cars were the daily drivers that allowed people to live their lives and achieve their dreams and raise their families. But no one has ever done anything like that, at least that I'm aware of and who knows if it would see enough traffic to pay for itself anyway. Only fake, flashy and showboating gets noticed in our society.

I had an ‘81 X11. Worst car I ever had. Bought it new and it was in the shop for most of the first three months I owned it. First, when the engine warmed up, the engine would stall and it could not be restarted for several hours. It would go through the same cycle of stalling and could not be started again. Finally the service manager took it out and it stalled in rush hour traffic. He was not amused. That issue was finally repaired. The service writer told me the issue was caused by “a cracked pole piece”. After that, I had trouble with the car overheating. When it would reach the point of boil over (according to the temperature gauge” the fuse for the interior cooling fan would blow, disabling the interior fan but the engine cooling fan would work great and the car would run at normal temperature. They never did get that fixed and fortunately I was in a position to trade it in on a used Dodge Charger. After having a new 78 Pontiac LeMans, a new 80 Grand LeMans and the 81 Citation. All being horrible cars, I finally had a car that ran and performed flawlessly. To this day, I’ve never bought another GM product and never will. I’ve had many New and used Chrysler vehicles over the years and have never had a problem.

I wouldn’t say the SVO Mustang Fox Body is forgotten. As I’ve seen numerous examples where the car is appreciating in value. Some even more than sticker price, judging from inflation today. 👍 But speaking of forgotten 80s cars, my mom had a 1984 Toyota Celica, AKA the Supra MK2. It’s funny because I haven’t seen one on the road other than a small handful of times in the past 20 years. Not even in any video games that I can recall. It was fairly similar to the Toyota Corolla AE86 Trueno.

There were never large numbers of the MK2 Supra on the road. They're very nice cars, and if you can lay your hands on one that hasn't been thrashed or heavily modded, remain fairly desirable in collector circles. Keep an eye out - because there's two versions of the Supra, one with wheel arch flares, and one without - significantly different trim levels.
