1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme

1986 Lincoln Continental

1986 BMW 535i

The white paint is apparently original, and gives it a completely different look from the typical black or dark blue. The owner says it has 300,000 km on the odometer.

1986 Chrysler LeBaron Convertible

1986 Dodge Diplomat

1986 Plymouth Reliant Wagon

Note the Chrysler pentagon but Plymouth labelling (held on by metal fasteners), with all other badges completely missing, the wipers wrapped in newspaper.

Also the banal hubcaps, egg crate grille, the vast glass area / narrow pillars. I took a shot of the "Buckle Up For Safety" sticker in the window, but exactly this shot appears on "The Street Peep".

1986 Pontiac Grand Am

It is hard for me to be objective about this car. I owned an '85 for a few years, and loved/hated it.

This was an OK effort by GM. No extreme overhangs, the formal but more aerodynamic roofline that was so current, the size was right for it's time, the potent looks. The line of the hood and trunk are higher than the base of the windows, which makes for either an odd discontinuity or a mild innovation . The velour-ish seats are kind of tacky, the silver body cladding is a bad idea that they kept using way too long (and it creates moire in the shots). The chrome grille, clearly imitating BMW, matches the sporty intent. You may not be able to see the very slightest bit of a rear spoiler built into the trunk lid.

I prefer the two door I had -- the longer door with its broader window and non-opening "opera" window looks sleeker.

1986 GMC Sierra Classic Camper Special

Despite the moss and damp and damage, this truck is still useful. The dents and debris just give it added texture. Missing hubcaps on the passenger side suggest close contact with curbs. Found in the same neighbourhood as this car.
