Good car to wreck. Not TOO old and still in pretty good supply. |

I don't see many of these cars anymore on the streets. They are already over 20 years old and most of them have vanished around here. It's been more 6 years since I got rid of my '91 Buick and at that point, keeping it going was getting very expensive. Not that it broke that often but the undercarriage was getting eaten away by rust and some replacement parts were very expensive and others were simply NLA... It's funny when I think that 20 years ago, I had just gotten my driver's license and I was driving a then 25 years old '68 Buick Wildcat. Now, I drive a '90 Toyota Pickup that's getting almost as old (but still much more common sight on our streets than a '68 Buick was in 1993!). I still have 1960s and 1970s cars but I can't afford to drive them daily anymore. And my current Buick Wildcat (a '65 built in Nov 1964) is already over 48 years old! |

I'm in Michigan and rust is a problem here.I still see these, and even more Lesabres.Most are rusty, but still running. Actually, the 1990 Toyota pickups rusted worse than anything here, so those are very few and far between now.Corollas from the same era are rare now, having crumbled away from the road salt. |
