These two are knockouts compared to the others on the list:

You said the 1983 Cutlass Supreme was one of the knockouts. That was my first brand new car I ever bought. It was gorgeous and very comfortable. It felt so fancy and my payment was $283 for 4 years. Alas, it was a lemon and had so many things go wrong with it. We only kept it 3 years. It was the last year for the Oldsmobile. The fact that mine was a lemon might tell you why.

I graduated from HS in 1979. The Cutlass was also the best selling car that year.

That was not the last year for Oldsmobile by a long shot. Oldsmobile wasn't discontinued as a brand until 2004.

Same. 1993

1990: Honda Accord — 417,179 units sold

Olds Cutlass 442

1982, back when it was still only American cars every year:



Ford Escort, in the second year of its existence after replacing the Pinto.

Good lord that thing is ugly and cheap-looking...

Ford Taurus
