The Best-Selling Cars in America Last 42 Years

[DeFormula]

It's not just Camry sales that are down, it's car sales. People are buying SUV and trucks in place of passenger cars. Look at the increase in Rav4 and Highlander sales in the last five years, similar with Rogue, Escape and so on.

Yep I know. I knew someone would bring it up just making a joke out of finally a decent-looking Camry and sales are down, to fit my boring car narrative.

You are thinking the 1965 Impala.

The 1965 Impala holds the single year sales record of over 1 million sold that year.

Mustang sales were also huge, 559,500 in '65 and something north of 600K in '66.

Guilty as charged!

Just picked up a set of chrome FR500 rims for it.
Already installed the rear tail light black-out panel.

That was so well written! I owned one of those USED.
I knew at the time (as most did) that the car was a
joke, it was so bad.

But a like new, low mileage car for only $800? I had to
try it, so I did. But unlike the owner from that article, I
bought mine eye's wide open.

I don't recall the gas mileage ever being that good. But
I used it as I did (do) most every car I buy, drive it for a
while, then sell it.

But I bought this clean, late model used car so cheap surely
I'b sell it for more.......I sold it for what I paid for it and that
was a glorious day!
