Everyones world was different. Some focused on trying to squeak by with an economy car. I had two speed shops in the 70s. Moved the main one to a larger location about 1975. Had a funny car and top fueler on display that caused traffic jams. Did it in 1979 again as business died. Almost no one cared let alone stop to look, . In 1964 the world news was the $2500 new mustang that could be a reality for high school kids like me. Athough I chose a 37 nash (Hey, it was $160 ! ) then a 66 v-8 Nova. In the early 70s it was muscle cars then it was vans and van customizing and van party events. Shag carpet anyone? After the gas crisis and lines around the block in front of the speed shop, which is slightly ironic, many switched to economy cars. I switched to promoting economy increases with ignitions, headers, etc and lots of installed sunroofs for the economy cars. The new $3000 roadrunners and such showed up less. I should have stock piled those things for todays values! Truth is there were no iconic cars after the 70s. Not that one could actually afford if you were a somewhat average person. And who was craving an iconic under 200 HP corvette? I was in my 20s and lived a dream career. Hard work and long hours but worth it.

I'm curious as to what Hoovie thinks on how history will look back on this car and its impact on the automotive world. Now 13 years out of production, police departments where I live are actually refurbishing what Crown Vics they still have to keep them on patrol even longer and when asked asked they say the alternatives just aren't as good for mechanical reliability/durability.

Going to argue against the Beetle, I think people got them because they had to, not because they wanted to. Look at the sales figures for Trans Ams the few years before Smokey and the Bandit, vs the few years after. They shot up because people wanted a Trans Am. 80s sure, I still have the Countach poster I bought as a kid, but the answer, if we are going by the 70s metric would be the K car. Still 5.0 mustang is THE answer. 90s. McLaren F1... No arguments there except that none of my friends knew about them until the 00s. I was the only one I knew, before the internet, who knew what an F1 was. Their values in the 90s reflected this as well. It was the most influential 90s car, 15 years later..... 00s Veyron, yuck. Everyone went gaga over that car but I never liked it. Still the 03/04 Cobra for me because it was the first attainable car with near 400hp since the late 60s. 10s and on, again I really don't care. There are some vettes I like and aluminum 5.0 standard cab F150s are cool. Everything is overly tech laden. I just want good fuel injection and a back up camera. Don't care about ABS, traction control, most of the crash safety stuff etc.

I agree entirely up to the 1970s; I can see the Beetle, but I would have said the Porsche 911 as that was the decade it really came of age ("Thank god there's no 48-hour race anywhere in the world, because chances are nobody could beat Porsche in a 48 hour race. They're probably the only cars in the world that would stand up for something like that." - Carroll Shelby, 1974 ). For the 80ies, I think the Robocop Taurus was the turning point; sure everyone had a Countach poster, but aside from a few Fiero body kits, how much influence did it really have, how many people actually got to drive one? For the 90ies, I would put the Carrera GT before the McLaren, but then I've never found the F1 attractive. That being said, I think the car of the 90ies was the Dodge Viper, because it brought back the "car that's trying to kill you" muscle car craze. For the 2000s, while my gut says the Subaru WRX (STi!) or even the Audi A4, I would have to agree with the Prius as much as I detest the darn things. If not the Prius, then the CRV or the RAV4. 2010s, I have to agree with the Tesla Model S, but I'm not ready to declare the CyberTruck the winner for the 2020s, particularly since I live in a place where we typically have snow on the ground six months out of the year and they're not really suited for Canada, eh? Also, honorable mention to the Volvo 740 Turbo Wagon, if only for those awesome adds in the 80ies.

The eighties, as much as I hate to admit it has two major cars over that Lambo. First up, I love the Countach and would own one in a heart beat. It is miles better than these two cars I'm about to mention, even with it's quirks. First would be the Chrysler K car. The K car is what saved Chrysler in the eighties and put Lee Iococca on everyone's minds. It MADE Chrysler a dominant force in the 90s. And did it by being cheap. Reliable. And easy to repair. The second is the Ford Taurus. The Taurus single handedly ushered in a new design language with its introduction in the late 80s. Still, that Countach is legendary today, and those two are not. But they did literally define a decade.

The 2000's was the birth of the retro wars. PT Cruiser, Prowler, the Mustang redesign, and of course, April's favorite car: the HHR.

In 1965 a restaurant across from the Ford factory had a reader board "Our Hotcakes Are Selling Like Mustangs". No question a car that changed the auto world.

You make a very compelling list of cars, at least on the aspirational side. There are some attainable cars that deserve some honorable mentions later in the 20th century. 1980s - AMC Eagle/Jeep Cherokee (both started the crossover S.U.V. segment) Ford Taurus (revolutionized the design of sedans for decades to come) Dodge Caravan/Plymouth Voyager (started the minivan segment that exploded for the rest of the decade, into the 90s and 2000s) 1990s - Ford Explorer and Jeep Grand Cherokee (both kick-started the S.UV. craze that continues to this day) Even though it's early to tell for the 2020s, the one I can mention so far is the Ford Maverick. I have some bias since I own one myself but it's a vehicle that's been begged for many years, the affordable compact truck. It delivers fantastic fuel economy numbers out of the hybrid while fairly decent out of the Ecoboost. Ford can't make enough of them to meet demand which shows how aspirational it is for the decade so far.

I understand why you picked the Countach for the eighties but I have to disagree. The car of the eighties was the Ford Taurus. I wasn't a big fan of the standard car but I did like the SHO. The Taurus totally changed how sedans were styled and gave folks a totally different perspective about American cars. The Taurus was also available to us Mere Mortals. It also single handily saved the Ford Motor Company from almost certain Bankruptcy. The Taurus was everywhere. Cheers!!!

I agree with this list. I’m 64 and my girlfriend had a blue super beetle with Porsche 914 rims,we would drive Topanga canyon to Malibu but on the way back at night she would turn off the lights to scare me. It worked.

I don't know about Hoovie, but I had a GNX on my wall. I had a chance to buy a typhoon and my response was, unless it's a GNX, no thank you. 70s would be the Porsche 930 or Countach 60s, I would say Camaro Z28 50s I would say Cadillac El Dorado

FYI - Although the Model T was only offered in black from 1914 to 1925, before and after that.... various models of the vehicle could be purchased in a variety of colors including blue, red, grey, and green

As a kid of the 80's I have to mention the VW GTI which started the Hot Hatch craze and the Camaro with Crossfire fuel injection. The IROC was also a young boys wet dream🤗

Globally it was the VW Beetle in the fifties? Also, looking beyond US, I’d argue BMW 3 series represented the zeitgeist of the eighties.

You got the 90's very wrong. You would have to have been a big car nerd to even know what a Mclaren was in the 90's. The correct answer is the Dodge Viper.

The 80's cars that most influenced that decade are 1986 Ford Taurus and the Dodge Caravan. Both brought their respective parent companies from the brink of extinction and both set the standard we still saw for nearly 25 years, until the SUV takeover.

They were available in other colors. Black was just the easiest, as it dried faster. They also had red, blue, green, and other colors.
