i expected him to drive a cool high-tech cruiser, but I think by him driving a Taurus, they wanted the effect that the movie wasn't set too far into the future...which was kinda cool.

And think about it, for 87' the Taurus did look kinda futuristic. It didn't have a big steel bumper, had softer corners and sleeker look than most other cars.

The taurus was based on the new, smaller and more aerodynamic T-bird that came out i nthe mid 80's. In turn, it influenced just about everyone else. Soon chevy was making Luminas and Mopar was retiring the ol' Diplomat in favor of the less-boxy Dynasty, the Taurus may have been a lowly econobox, but it's styling set the tone for the 90's

And sadly, I don't think there is gonna be a single one left in good shape in 30 years, someone ought to get one in decent shape and put it in a garage. Everyone saves the big muscle cars and the luxury cars and the exotics, but no one saves the economy cars, even the good ones.

All the first-gen Caravans are reaching the end of thier lifespans too, those K-car powered 86's are all starting to rust, sputter and smoke. Someone ought to save at least one of them, it's the first MINIVAN for crying out loud! (prefferably one with faux-woodsides!) And while we're at it, someone save a 1990 Ford Explorer, first SUV.

Well, anything before the 90 explorer I call a 4X4, the Wagoneer, the Bronco, the Blazer, they were all heavy duty 4X4's, meant for going into the woods, off road, no ammenities, no frills THe explorer was the first 4X4 to appeal to non-truck people, and the first real "SUV" maybe second only to the Cherokee.

ok, I'll agree with that. I still say the jimmy and it's bretheren (the wagoneer and the blazer) were SUVs. People consider jimmies and blazers small SUVs nowadays. BTW, do they still make the Jimmy? Haven't seen them in a bit.

Thirty years from now, there will be scads of Mustangs, Camaros, Corvettes, Vipers and exotics from this era around still, because people see those as being worth saving. I don't argue, but the everyday cars will disappear entirely. We can see this in action. '65-'73 musclecars are pretty easy to find, but have you ever tried to find a family car from the same era?
