1985 Ford LTD LX
I had not realized that the car you see was kind of special for technical reasons until I looked it up. The blacked out grille and faded red stripe hidden in the side strip should have tipped me off. I hope it is just awaiting restoration under it's guardian motion sensor light.
What with constrained space and steel barrel, I could not get a proper profile, or a shot of the "LTD LX" badge on the trunk lid.

1985 Pontiac Parisienne Brougham
A beige-y car against a sort of beige-y background on a kind of beige-y day.
Love the chrome lower body panels, which catch the dirt and salt, ensuring that few cars so equipped survive to this day. Also the gold colour on the roof and hood, standing in for a vinyl roof. And those aerodynamic mirrors -- sporty but so small, the exact same unit used on everything from Chevettes to Le Sabres. The fender skirts, the formal roofline, the hood ornament -- all echoes of a past which was more optimistic and careless.

1985 Buick LeSabre Limited Collectors Edition
Yes, GM actually named a car "Collectors Edition", apparently because this was last year of the rear wheel drive version. It just adds to the the absurd charm of this anachronism on wheels. The car looked old school when it was new.
Lens distortion and fog c/o my cell phone.

1985 Honda Accord (Ã la hipster)
This looks like a hipster car to me. (I was going to call it a "hipstermobile", then looked it up.) Maybe it's just the chickenwire grill, or the fact that it made here from New Jersey with all that damage, or the Princeton sticker, or the ridiculous warpaint over all of the trim, or the super glossy hood.
D'ya think?
Parked in a nice spot though.

1985 Chrysler LeBaron
A real genuine "K car" in LeBaron drag. Much like the Fifth Avenue from a couple weeks ago, but more so. Still trying to present itself as luxury. Love the quarter padded vinyl roof, the way it blocks out so much of the rear door windows and has a shut line run through it. And those spoked "wheel coverings" -- all still present after 30 years!
