AMC Concord?
Edit: Given that we’ve had a Vega and Capri this week, I’m amending to Mercury Bobcat.
The Escort clone, A Mercury Lynx
Interesting, but do any really still exist outside the scrap yards?
Its got a hood ornament though, Lynxes(?) never had hood ornaments did they?
Lynx was my first thought too but you may have a point about the hood ornament–Mercury offered some pretty tacky cars in the early 1980’s but I’m not sure even they would have put a chrome strip and hood ornament on a small economy car. If this does turn out to be a Lynx I hope it has the little silver emblem on the dashboard that tells all of its passengers that it is “Ride Engineered” ( whatever that means).
My first car was a handed down 83 Lynx. Sadly, No “Ride Engineered” tag.
I think that was reserved for the Panthers. A friend had a GMarq coupe in HS with that tag on the dash. I always got a laugh out of it.
I’m thinking early FWD Buick Century?
1986 Buick Lesabre
1990s Lincoln Continental
1986-ish Oldmobile Cierra.
Heck, I could have called it a Cutlass, everything Oldsmobile was a Cutlass back then.
80’s Caravan/Voyager
Mercury Zephyr – maybe AN Ln7 ? Like The MErcury version of the Fairmount Futura?
1982-84 Olds Cutlass Ciera
Feels like a mid 80s Cougar
1986 Oldsmobile Calais
85-88 Olds 98 ?
1986 Oldsmobile Calais Supreme!
