At a family gathering there would literally be 4-5 Town Cars, same amount of Park Aves/Lesabres, and a few Caddies.

What an incredible survivor. The interior is absolutely mint, even in the back.

A kid I knew in school had parents with a light green metallic '67 Vista Cruiser with woodgrain. It had blackwall tires with the full wheelcovers, so I'll assume those were not its original tires. I was amazed at the glovebox door that hinged up instead of down.

I do remember being wholly unimpressed with a new '82 Z28 that was given to me for the day by a car salesman friend of my dad's with the expectation I would buy it. It wasn't much quicker than my '77 LeMans and it rode like a buckboard. It was surprisingly easy to give him back the keys the next day.

The SO of a family member had a new 87 IROC, and I got to ride in it several times. I liked it for the T-tops, but I knew it wasn't the most refined thing in the world
Speaking of the F bodies, I saw a nice (looked new) Firebird turbo indy 500 pace car edition. complete with all the decals. looked just like this.

I still like the styling details.
Before I ordered an '85 Celebrity Eurosport, I put a deposit on a Monte Carlo SS (cancelled it; I had had '81 and '82 Montes already), and I test-drove a new '85 Berlinetta in red. I was let down. I was used to quieter cars and it was raucous-sounding I thought--that, and I wasn't used to 'hatch' cars which are noisier I think, then and now. And the '85 had the ridiculous digital instrumentation and turn signal controls on a stalk you had to hit with your fingers--one button for left and another for right. Total turnoff. The plasticky '82-83 panel was even better.
One reason I hurried up to order my '85 instead of waiting for the '86's (I took delivery of my '85 on June 3), was that I didn't want a third brake light. Thought it looked stupid. I thought they looked downright egregious on Camaros and Corvettes when I first saw '86's.
Those early factory CHMSLs often looked like the $9.99 aftermarket kind. Some makers integrated them better than others.
At the time, I was ready for a newly-styled Camaro. Geez, talk about long-in-the-tooth--the '81, yeesh. And the trunks in those cars were like a second glovebox, LOL.
The 81 looks like an antique for the time, but I have to admit those late run Z28s are kind of cool looking, maybe in a retro way from a time I am too young to clearly remember.

Most of this era T-Bird are pretty reasonable to buy, too.
melted. The fix consisted of heavily insulated and more robust "boost lights."

I find the XJS very awkward-looking.
