That's nice! OTOH, my guess is that most folks had a tougher time at it.

Good question. Here in Chicago I don't see as many older cars like we
used to. Rust takes a toll on cars and people will get rid of them
sooner.... With the two cars I have even when they were newer it was
rare to see them. For example the 91 Bonneville, Pontiac only produced
something like 43,000 compared to 143,000 in 1989 and 1992. 1992 was
first year for that body style so people waiting for it to debut -rather
than buy a 91.

I rarely see any 2005 Park Avenue because it was the last model year and
so few were produced. Its very easy to spot because the 05 has a
different grill and tail light panel than the 97-04 model. 300 black and
silver tu-tones editions were produced and I have never seen any on the
road yet in the 5 years since the cars demise.

I still see many 87-89 LeSabre & Bonneville LE and SE models on the
road and out of state. Occasionally I see the 87-91 SSE, but not that
often. but they are far from being in real nice shape - very rusty, but
they are still running.
