When was the last time you saw the station wagon version of the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry?
The Accord, about a month. The Camry, today, but that's because a neighbor's housekeeper has a 1990s Camry wagon, complete with the double rear wipers.
What I saw today, and it was strange as I cannot remember the last time I saw one, much less four separate Cutlass Ciera. One wagon looked as if someone was having a 1980s flashback from the early seasons of "Scarecrow & Mrs. King" as it was the wagon in the lemonish tan or tanish yellow, complete with woodgrain. The others were of the later variety, sealed-beam lights, not the quad headlights of the earlier, 1980s Ciera. The rest were the garden variety four-door Ciera.

HA! Every time I see one of those mid-sized, woodgrain-paneled station wagons, I think "Hey, it's Amanda King!"
There's also one of those enormous, woodgrain-paneled station wagons from the late 1970s down the block from me (Town and Country, perhaps) and it reminds me of the "lead sled" that Karen used to drive in the early years of Knots Landing. In one episode she had the entire female cast riding in that thing with her (she made Abby ride in the cargo bay!).
Is this where someone tells me I watch too much television?
I saw an early 90s Dodge Shadow on the road a few days ago. This surprised me because of the bucket of crap these cars were. I owned a 93 and when I sold it for 500 bucks back in 2000, I thought that this was the last Shadow on the road and I expected it to be in a junk yard in a matter of months.
In January I was at a gas station and a Pacer pulled up at the pump next to me. Not a restored one either, a survior. I would have thought their terrible quality killed them all by the late 80s

I had one a 1979 Ford country squire wagon. Nice car lots of room and could pull a travel trailer.
There's a beat up old early nineties Dodge Shadow I see almost everyday at work. I only started seeing it recently. I don't know how long it's been since I've seen one before this.
Hoover Damn! You found me....now, I got to move it again!!!
Saw a Peugeot 505 cruising down the highway a few months ago. Hadn't seen a Peugeot in years and probably won't see one again any time soon.
