In contrast to how the Dodge Charger and Challenger are getting a decent send off as they fade off into the sunset after 2023 (with the former having a 1000+ hp model), do you think there were any cars that you think kind of went out on a whimper? The model or name doesn’t have to necessarily be of one that has ended and has never seen a revival. As an example, I think the original concurent run of the Ford Thunderbird kind of ended in a “meh” way in 1997 with the supercharged Super Coupe being absent for the final year, even though there would be a brief retro revival from 2002 to 2005.
Up here in Canada, we didn’t get the last two generations of the Sable because Ford decided to pull the plug on Mercury in this country in the year 2000, with the exception of the Grand Marquis which continued to be sold at Ford dealerships until the Panther chassis was discontinued. I should note civilian sales of the Crown Vic ended in Canada after 2000, so the Grand Marquis was the closest thing the Canadian public could get to a new Crown Vic off of a Ford dealership during the 2000s.
