A friend's parent had a '73 in red, it had  swivel bucket seats in the front
They would turn 90° to get out or in  ;D

You need seats like that.

OMG!!  Mileage!!

Maybe I'm nuts, but I see something like this and think what a perfect family hauler this sucker would make if one could convince their significant other to drive an LS over a CUV.   Huge inside, big trunk, AWD, reliable...slap a Thule on top and head for the slopes!

I like that car, and an uncommon color too. However, in some of the close up shots I see some paintwork that looks suspect for a Lexus, so I have a suspicion at least some of the doors have been resprayed.

Yeah, I'm a Mopar car, but I love nice cars, whatever the brand.  Nicely optioned.

Even in that butternut baby poop colour...I like it. Last good looking year too.  I do like it...weirdly.  And so much you can do to make it more enjoyable too.  EFI...more power...surely someone makes suspension stuff for these.  Just leave it sleeper. 15's and all.  Good find Bubs.  :thumbup:  Should submit it to Nice Price or Crackpipe...but I can never vote so who cares, I've already given it my vote.  ;) All that matters.  ;D

I'd keep the 360, but get rid of the Lean Burn system.  Good looking example, but I like the older ones with round headlights.

Perusing the Barret Jackson site this evening, checking what's coming at the Scottsdale auction.

Spotted this beauty.  I've only seen one in the flesh and it was up to it's rockers in mud.

Love how the trunk lid slopes under the spoiler.

I prefer the styling of this Accord to the current model.

Agree. Lots of glass and subdued styling. Such a timeless sedan in so many ways.

Also agreed. A lost time of automotive design.

That generation Accord was a sweetheart. Seems the cars that were panned when new for having too conservative of styling look great in the future. They had one of the nicest feeling 5 speed I've ever sampled. I'd love to find one as mint as that!

^^  Agree that series of Accord was the high water mark, although they rusted out quickly.  Really like the colour of that example as well!   Too bad nobody's buying larger sedans nowadays.  I've seen very few new Accords around these parts.  Lots of Civics though.

The Civic is probably the same size as the '90 Accord
And I bet you would hate driving it now
