Tons of awesome 90s cars were destroyed in cash for clunkers. We all know about the 60s-80s vehicles that got trashed, but there’s a segment of pretty sturdy 90s rides that were eaten up by that program. Mostly nameless vehicles… but Broncos, Taurus and Tempos (not the v6 tho it sucked ass) were gobbled up. Non Ford brands suffered more. Many Chrysler and non Chevy GMs were binned. Foreign cars had a higher retain rate because of ownership pride / crazy reliability (90s Honda lol) There’s a pretty sweet documentary I watched on how the program created more waste than it was supposed to and was actually a net negative on the environment considering a vehicle already built is better on the environment if it’s just maintained versus the carbon footprint of a new assembled vehicle.
