Or that anyone would maintain one this well. Seen last week in Michigan.
I didn’t get a pic, but it had perfect blue cloth seats.

I saw one here in Austin last week that had AK plates. That's one hell of a drive in that old dog sled.

Saw a red one recently in Illinois. Surprised the heck out of me.

You never know what you might find if you look. I was wandering around yesterday and saw a “restored” 86-7 Chevy Celebrity parked next to a late 80s Grand Am.

Thick Film Ignition: trouble-prone.

Sometime during the last decade after the gas price spikes I started to notice a lot of old 70's and 80's cars on the road. There is a Chevette 4 door woodie around that looks showroom. Saw a kid delivering pizza recently in a perfect red 82 Buick Skyhawk hatch. Stopped him one day to talk, his grandma gave it to him. Saw someone in a Ford Fairmont too. Its surprising because the salt around here usually rusted all those cars to pieces.

Oooh, a Mk3 Escort! I had one once.
It was supposed to be a “world car” but that didn’t mean what it was originally intended to. Just about every part of mine differed from that one even though it was the same shape.

Fuck me running, but I saw a clean, working Hyundai Stellar circa 1987 on the road, about a month ago.

HaHaHa!
I had an ‘86 Escort in refrigerator white with blue interior and drove it to 204000 miles.
I loved that car with a few tasteful hooning upgrades, but +++really hated+++ the plastic ignition switch that eventually fell apart, because replacing it would have required dropping the steering column, pulling the whole dash, and unbolting the pedals.
(I donated the pulled-apart hulk to a local charity.)

I’d put money on it being a long term elderly owner.
