You don't live in the Midwest, the DOT salt brine brigade has decimated any vehicle over 25 years old. It USED to be common to see 30+ year old iron on the road. Not anymore.
My parents bought an 84 Monte Carlo brand new in November of 83 when I was in kindergarten. We had put 180K miles on it by the time I was in 6th grade, put an old 350 in it, and that is what I ended up driving throughout much of high school. It still sits at my parents' place, awaiting restoration.
Man, when I first saw the Pontiac Fiero back in 1984 as a 11 year old kid I drooled for a day! I thought it was the coolest car ever. It was a red one with the sweet original Fiero wheels. Exactly as shown here. It was exiting for me back then. And seriously, GM selling a fully loaded Chevrolet Cavalier as a Cadillac. LOL!
"Limited Edition Grand National" If only anyone knew at the time what a powerhouse that car would be in the coming years. 80's GM styling was hit and miss here and there but the Cutlass, Regal, and Monte Carlo G-Bodies were some handsome cars.
moishere True, there were some hits and misses. I know first hand that the Skyhawk T Type was a blast to drive with the manual. The Citation was horrible, brakes would lock up.
I loved those cars when new and when I was a teen, test drove a newer but used trade in 84 Monte SS, damn it was beautiful especially after driving a Cordoba for years but iirc it was $13000 dollars. That was alotta coin back then.
GM had 4 or 5 dealers in every town - Olds was frequently paired with either Chevy or Cadillac; GMC with Buick or Pontiac (and if GMC was freestanding it was often in a more industrial era rather than 'auto row').
It was great. The more brands, styles, and options to choose from for consumer, the better. The demise of Pontiac, Oldsmobile, and Plymouth brands is bad news for America and American people.

I drive a 83 chevy Chevette as my every day car, No frills slow. But ole reliable and very versatile as far as being able to fit everything from groceries and furniture to a full size refrigerator. She's almost 40 years old and still gets up in the morning and goes any place I need to go. I love my Chevette. They really aren't bad cars not even close to what those "top 10 worst cars" list's say about them.
Great to see so many classic GM rear drive cars(G and B bodies) when they were in their prime! Now a days, most of these cars get a bad rap of being ghetto/gansta cars. I'll never forget driving(in the mid 00's) my Chevrolet Caprice into a city in Georgia and being warned by a complete stranger....."better be careful driving that car into some neighborhoods, they'll think you're acting hard!" LOL Back when these cars were still being made, they were just respectable, honest, reliable family cars, sometimes used by Government Agencies/ Cabbies. I still love them despite their modern day reputation! Long live the GM B & G bodies!
I bought a really nice '88 Pontiac Safari wagon, complete with faux wood siding about 10 years ago. Was a great car, and I could put a sheet of plywood in the bed. Got a lot of looks!
I remember when I was 6-8 years of age my aunt had a 1989 grey Caprice classic brougham I remember sitting inthe back seat looking at those plush grey suede seats it was two tone grey and black
My neighbor still has his 84 Caprice Classic. 100% stock. Kept it serviced very well for many years. Suspension is very plush. But it’s comfortable to ride in.
Thank you, Motorweek! These Full-Model-Lineup videos are pure gold and so enjoyable to watch. Keep these coming! Also, please oh please release your retro review of the 1990 GM U-Body minivans - the "dustbusters" (Chevy Lumina APV, Pontiac Trans Sport, Oldsmobile Silhouette).
Thank you so much for post this! It was great to see more GM vehicles. I look forward to more GM retro footage and more from Oldsmobile as well. Thank you again!
Hilarious that GM wouldn't offer one of those 4 cylinder turbo engines in the Fiero. Even better would have been the later Quad 4 engine. Then the Fiero would have been a serious sports car!
It also would have outperformed their pony cars and even the corvette most likely. So they hamstrung the fiero and wasted a potentially great little platform. But lots of folks are still modding them with various newer gm engines making lots of power
At least these cars all looked different unlike the wind tunnel clones on the road today. have to pull up close to see the badge to know what they are. The had personality.
Yea isn’t it crazy how these cars and trucks and s10 blazers, Cadillac’s, etc are still on the road today! while none of the dodges and very few fords are left!

The cars of today only last a few years. And then you continue to pay on them when they die out, leaving you tens of thousands in debt every 3 years. Most of these 80's cars are still around and doing really well, and you can buy one at 1/32nd of the price of a brand new car.
Brings back a lot of "mostly" good memories. So many models..sheesh! I wanted a couple of these but was too young. For sure it was a time of GM "if you want it we sell it"! Great video..thanks MW!
@6:33 I am envious of anyone that had the foresight in buying a T-Type or GN between 84-87. If they bought it knowing it was going to be a performer I’d be impressed. For me, my dad helped me buy a ‘84 Monte Carlo in dark blue in ‘87 as my first car while I was working at a gas station.
Im pretty sure anyone 32 or older has had a cutlass ciera at one time or another. I did, 88 wagon- got it from grandpa in 03 with 40k miles. Great car, sold it to buy my first truck. Im 36
Those Pontiac fieros were fun cars, except the ones with the I4. The valve cover would leak oil, and drip onto the exhaust, setting the car on fire...oops.. gm bodged together a recall kit when I worked at the dealership, revised valve cover and gasket, and new heat shielding for the exhaust. Didn't help much, though.
The turbo-diesel Oldsmobile briefly mentioned in the video apparently _was_ just a rumor, as I can't find any record of such a thing actually existing. Oldsmobile did develop a "tuned induction" 4.3L V6 diesel and demonstrated it to the press in 1983, which they claimed provided almost as much extra power as a turbocharger, but that too never entered production.
John was rockin’ that red shirt, 80’s to the core. John if you read this ... you’re awesome! I’ve been watching your show since I was like 8 (I’m 42 now) love these flash backs!
My buddy had an '84 Fiero and the motors died on the pop-up lights and he had to prop them up with bricks, lol. Not to mention he blew up 3 engines in it.
Golly, I miss those 5.7L Diesel engines! GM had all the bugs & kinks worked out with the GM Goodwrench 350DX Diesel engine. I wish I had a shed full of them!
It’s crazy how they made so many of the same cars just with different brand names back then, like the chevette and Pontiac 1000, cavalier and sunbird, etc. Seems utterly ridiculous nowadays.
I bought a cutlass new in 85. I liked it. when I put 80k miles on it, those were high miles in that day, but that’s when she went “south” for me. It started to nickel and dime me to death and sold it. If I would of known then what I do now, I would of and could of left it in the barn for a few decades.
In my college days, a friend had a Fiero that ended up unable to make left turns, so to get anywhere, he had to "spiral down" to his destination, like a moebius shell.
“With most (chassis) parts borrowed from Chevette/Pontiac T1000”... was its downfall as a sports car, before one single Fiero ever left the assembly line. Doomed from the beginning. Ah, what could have been... so many missed opportunities across the whole GM product lineup, and a few brighter spots too.
Drove my grandmother's 84 v-6 Caprice in college in the 90s. I always had to coast down the hills to give the hamster a break so he wouldn't have a coronary
A blast from the past, man!! I was a total JV baseball guy back then-floppy Reebok hightops slippin' off my tubesocked stockin' feet!! All-American boy. Still am. :)
@1:46--- Uh, I 'lived through the 80's and I've have yet to see a SINGLE GM car hit 50 MPG anywhere. Including the Chevy Chevette/ Pontiac 1000. Especially with that 2.5L Iron Duke I-4 engine.... (Not even the diesel VW Rabbit could pull off 50 mpg out of a diesel, non turboed 1.6L I-4....)
From the Fiero, to the spring introduction of the new front-wheel-drive C-body Buick Electra/Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight as early 1985 models, to the new A-Body station wagons, GM's 1984 lineup TRULY had something for everyone!!!!!
I am not a fan of American made automotive designs and manufacturers. 1984 is before my time but watching this video makes me think everyone of these cars were junk. Anything American made from 1984 still on the road is truly exceptional.

The Monte Carlo got dated quickly, but now it's aging rather well
The camaro looked good too
The Celebrity was also a nice car
It's crazy how gm had like five companies making the same car.
GM had 4 or 5 dealers in every town - Olds was frequently paired with either Chevy or Cadillac; GMC with Buick or Pontiac (and if GMC was freestanding it was often in a more industrial era rather than 'auto row').

Digging that background music.
Reminds me of Wheel of Fortune showcase music.
Being silly here. Sounds like 80s porn movie music lol
Wish the people at motorweek knew the name of the song playing during the presentation of the fiero and corvette.
Back when disco violinist and disco vibes player were esteemed professions
Shit in your hat
I truly love the background music. Reminds me of spending time in malls as a child.

The Hurst and 442 were different models.
Yeah. The Hurst/Olds was silver in 1984.
Black over silver is 83
Silver over black is 84
I agree the hurst olds is derived from the cutlass calias and the 442 cutlass is from the cutlass Supreme
My neighbor still has his 84 Caprice Classic. 100% stock. Kept it serviced very well for many years. Suspension is very plush. But it’s comfortable to ride in.

Have to look at the emblem on the rims to know what brand
Just like someone else said, thanks for uploading the retro reviews, it's really cool to see these older vids.
Good old days when America was still great. Beautiful cars. Fiero rivaled Lotus in looks, and Corvette was desirable like a Ferrari. Good old days.
Badge Engineering at its finest!

Wow 50 models. So many brands. And this was before Saturn. Oh how times have changed.
GM was the Taco Bell of car manufacturers, they take 5 ingredients and turn it into 36 different meals.
This is hilarious... and accurate.
G and B bodies are the best! Drive an '81 Regal as a daily driver. Awesome car to own!
If you build a time machine, buy the Buick Grand National. That’s the winner out of this group.
Back when the average person could buy a new car every few years.
