I put the caprice on there as we were discussing late 80's to early 90's. I know ALL about the LT1 Caprices/Impala SS. Hell, I had two Roadmaster wagons...1 with the LT1...awesome car...but boring as a plain ice snow cone. Look at the Caprices you mentioned - what was exciting about them?

The LH series cars were 'different' than the "boring cars" offered elsewhere as far as looks were concerned...but power? Nothing that made you go "Wow!" The Neon...it was different, but 'exciting'? No. (Yes, there were some high wing festooned SRT cars near the end that were fun to look at-ish.)

Lincoln - yeah...the Mark was a neat car...but it was a blip on the radar of the models sold.

I didn't mention any trucks in my lists.
