Junkyard Find: 1984 Honda Accord Sedan with 475,113 miles

The second-generation (1982-1985) Accord made Soichiro Honda's company a sales colossus in the United States, doing away with any residual impression that it was a mere motorcycle manufacturer with a sideline in four-wheelers. The last time we saw a discarded example in this series was way back in 2016, so today we'll admire one found in Northern California with close to a half-million miles on the clock.

Ajla They were not perfect but FCA was a healthy company in 2018. The Challenger, Wrangler and Ram truck had its best year ever in 2018. In 2019 the Charger had its best year since 2008. The Grand Cherokee had sales increase every year from 2011-2018. Unfortunately Sergio died in the 2nd half of 2018 and Elkann & Tavares f*cking suck. They took an efficient company and turned it into something with Ford-tier cost overruns, which lead to huge price increases. And now they are overcompensating by cost-cutting to the bone, which in turn is killing product quality and employee morale.
GregLocock "The automaker did announce a $406 million investment in Michigan (the state where it has seen a large number of layoffs recently) on the same day as its rebuttal to the NDC. However, that may have been something it was already working on before the dealer letter went out."Well golly gosh, that's insightful, no wonder we come to TTAC to be informed. Car companies routinely spend half a billion dollars on a whim. Not.
Mister Corey, this series (and the Lincoln series that preceded it) are so very good that I'd like to suggest you find a publisher and rework both series of posts into coffee table books.
