Where have all the 80s/90s cars gone?

[300bhp/ton]

Went to a local car show at the weekend, big contingent of US cars there. But very obvious that there are almost no 80/90s cars about. You don't see them on the roads or for sale either these days.

What has happened to them? Values were generally good enough I'd struggle to believe they were all scrapped.

At the show there was a very good contingent of 50's thru 70s( (early/mid 70s) and a reasonable spattering of newer cars (Mustangs/Challengers etc, all post 2005 or newer).

There was only one 80s car, a Camaro z28. And only 2 90s cars, a Ford Bronco FSB and my Camaro z28. Would guess there must have been 30-40 or more US cars in total at the show.

Maybe the lack of responses here is indicative of the situation.....

The 80's/90's was hardly a highlight for Americana was it?

Depends. Lots of very good and capable cars IMO. I don't dislike Jap cars, but quite a lot are fwd ones based on hatchback platforms in this era.
