A mid-sized station wagon made by Oldsmobile from 1964-1977. Noted for it's cool dome like skylight over the back passenger seats, and it's small glass panels on the top of the rear windows that curved into the roof. 1964-1967 models had a some what blocky shape, and 1968-1972 models had the popular coke bottle body style. But in 1973 it was downsized and lost it's unique roof treatment. While still an attractive looking wagon with it's woody trim, it just looked like every other GM mid-size wagon at that time, and never got much attention. It was axed in 1977 and replaced with a downsized Cutlass model.

Get the Vista Cruiser mug.The last real Cadillac based on the 1980 body style.
Made from 1987-1992. V8 engine, rear wheel drive, vinyl roof, bigggg boxy 4 door sedan. Many are still on the roads today, as they are indestructable and were well taken care of by their senior citizen owners when they were new.

Cadillac Broughams were popular limos, fleet cars, and senior citizen mobiles when new, and now you can get them cheap due to everybodies obsession with small cars.

Get the Cadillac Brougham mug.Introduced in 1980, the Citation was a compact car that replaced the Nova. It was also Chevy's first Front Wheel Drive car. Engines offered were 6 or 4 cyls. The car proved to be problematic and was recalled numerous times, leading to it's demise in 1985. I'm sure no one misses them, as the styling was boring.
The Chevy Citation was a step up from a Chevette, but still being a cheap car with horrible steering and cheap interiors. A total embarrssment for GM.

Get the Chevy Citation mug.Fords first minivan. First introduced in 1986, it was built on a truck platform shared with the F-150 and had rear wheel drive and a 6 cyl engine. In 1989 a longer wheel based model was offered, as was 4WD in 1990, and in 1992 the front end was restyled with composite headlights, a new grill, and a drivers side airbag.
The bodystyle remained the same from the day it was introduced until it was axed in '97. Though popular at first with soccer moms in the 80's, it's chunky ugly body style got out-dated in the 90's. Alot of Aerostars built after '94 went to fleet companies.

My Mother had a '92 Ford Aerostar in the 90's, and as crappy as it was, it was roomy, comfortable, and could smoke a 4 banger Dodge Caravan anyday with it's 6 cyl.

Get the Ford Aerostar mug.A large RWD car made by Lincoln. Shares the same platform with the Ford Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis.
It was an upscale trim package on Continentals in the 70's. Then it became it's own model in 1981 on a downsized bodystyle known as the "panther" platform. It lost it's boxy design in 1990, and again in 1998, making the body more aero looking each time. Towncars went on to be a stereotypical senior citizen mobile, gangster mobile, and also an extremely popular livery car for the rest of it's life. By the 2000's, it was the biggest car in production and large luxury cars had completly lost popularity. The majority went to Livery companies, and the Town Car and panther platform in general were phased out in 2011.

Dan: Your grandfathers 80's Towncar sure is cool looking.
Mike: That things an old school beast, but he doesn't drive much. He's 85 years old.

Get the Towncar mug.A person who's intolerant towards certain types of people, whether it's race, culture, religion, etc. In the late 20th century it became taboo to be a bigot and it's something alot of people keep to themselves now. But to me it's not such a big deal and I don't see what's so bad about it. Certain types of people make people think of them in a pessimistic way.
I'll admit that I'm a Bigot. I have never gotten along well with Blacks, Hispanics, and especially Wiggers. I just disagree with their entire way of life.

Get the Bigot mug.The 2nd generation of the Mustang, built between 1974-1978. Designed by Lee Iacocca and based on the the subcompact Ford Pinto platform. It came in basic coupe form, hatchback, or the up scale "Ghia" which had a landau vinyl roof treatment. Engines offered were either a I4 or V6 engine, but a small-block V8 became an option in '75.
During the gas crisis, it sold well, mainly due to the demand of small cars. But this generation is known to Mustang fans as one of the least popular. Mainly due to cheap wimpy Pinto type styling and the lack of a good performace engine. The base coupe and Ghia models were boring looking. And Hatchback models tried to hard to look sporty, what with the "Stallion" or "Cobra" trim. They offered paint jobs with strips going down the hood, a blacked out grill, and lots of plastic body moldings. But in the end the car just looked tacky and overdone, and was all show and no go. Sales declined after '75 and a newer more popular Mustang design would appear in 1979.

One of the worst cars I've ever seen was a rusty 1976 Ford Mustang II "Ghia", painted in white but sporting a ghastly bright red landau vinyl roof, with a red interior.
