Ford Escort – 1982
Amount Sold – 337,667
Oldsmobile Cutlass had to step aside in 1982 as there was a new guy in town, the Ford Escort. This car was a replacement for the Pinto, which was one of Ford’s editions to launch in 1981. Even though that year saw America in the recession, the Ford Escort emerged as the most popular and most sold car for that year.

Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme – 1983
Amount Sold – 331,179
Oldsmobile may have been out in 1982, but they were not down and out. By 1983, a total of 331, 179 units were sold, making it the most popular car of 1983. In that year, the Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme was launched and dominated the sales chart in America. The sales for Oldsmobile that year were excellent as they also had the front-wheel-drive Cutlass Ciera on the market as well. However, this launch may have been the last of the top sales spots for Oldsmobile until maybe a few years later with another edition. The first Toyota Camry (or sedan) was also test-driven this year as well.
