I know nothing about cars

[tree]

So I'm hoping one of you wonderful people can help me. I'm looking for a model of car that was available in the USA in 1997 that would not be too noticeably out of place in 1980. Alternatively, a car that was available in 1980 that would still be usable in 1997. I'd prefer the former, but I can figure something out for the latter.

Basically, I need a car in which my character can travel back in time and drive around in that isn't going to loudly shout, "This kind of car has not been conceived of yet!"

My gratitude, you has it.

I was just coming here to suggest a Honda Civic. :)

+grins+ I was actually thinking Ford Festiva which looked like the Yugo which looked like the Volkswagon Rabbit... But I forgot when they quit making the Festiva.

Ditto; my dad drove his '81 Honda Civic till sometime around 2004... then passed it to a friend's son. That thing lasted forever!
