The 1977 models became the number one selling car in the United States. (In 1976, the previous generation full-size Chevrolet was the third best-seller). More than 660,000 full-size Chevrolets were produced for the 1977 model year, with the most popular model being the four-door Caprice Classic sedan (212,840 produced). By 1978 more than 1 million downsized Chevrolets had been produced. Auto publications agreed with the public reception, with Motor Trend awarding the 1977 Chevrolet Caprice Car of the Year. 1977 Caprice Classic sedan

Crazy that the Camry has ran the last 20 years. You’d think you’d notice a bunch on the road, I see them but not like you’d think number one.

Chrysler New Yorker 1971: Chrysler New Yorker Chrysler introduced ventless front-door windows and a hardtop roof to this the model of the four-door sedan, the New Yorker. It proved popular and in 1971 went on to sell more than a million units—the last car to sell that many in a single year.

As I was having my POS Pontiac company car towed (1981 or about there), I rode with the tow truck driver. I asked him what particular car he towed the most. He said “Chebby Cabalier, Man”.
Mom had a 67 Olds 442. We all loved it. In 1970, upon graduation from college, I bought a 1970 Olds 442 (it ate water pumps, but it was fast). Bought my last American car in 1977. It was an Olds Cutlass Supreme. In 1978 or 79 I rode in a Toyota Celica, and soon after that I was a Toyota fan.
In the 80’s I had GM company cars - Pontiacs and Buicks. They were junk.

Many American made cars were just unreliable back then. Why the hell pumps gave out like they did I'll never know, but I replaced my share of them. And belts!

Did Olds have a 260 V8? I remember my Dad had a Ford Fairlane with a 260 in the late 60’s. My 77 Olds had a 350 that ran pretty good. When the wife and I upgraded, we gave the 77 Olds to the oldest daughter. I took it to a muffler shop and had it dualled out with glasspacks. The wife yelled at me for making the car loud, but when she realized that the daughter could neither come nor go without us knowing it, she realized why I did it. But, she wasn’t the bad girl. It was the younger one. Ooooooh Lord she was trouble.
We need another thread about our favorite cars.
