I had an uncle who had a Cordoba. When we were kids, he’d strap his canoe on the top and take my brother and I out fishing :-)

1976 Plymouth Duster

I think I had a 1972. Paid $800 for it at an auto auction. Ran great until someone ran a stop sign and I t-boned them.

Most of those vehicles listed in decent condition are worth a small fortune nowadays.....except the dreaded pinto.....how it made the list is is beyond me.

My dad had the wagon version.....a bigger pizza chit we never owned.

I had an ‘85 Riviera that same blue color. Loved that car. In Alaska. It would go through unplowed roads better than 4x4s.

“The 1963 2-Door Hardtop Impala is a classic that captured the hearts of baby boomers.”

The oldest baby boomers that year were only 17 years old. Lots of them had never been born. Kind of hard to made that assertion.
