Junkyard Find: 1980 Honda Accord Sedan

We saw a historically interesting but marketplace-irrelevant 1991 Honda Accord wagon Junkyard Find last week, which means that it's now time to look at the car that made Honda in North America: the first-gen Accord. Here's a well-worn but still fairly solid '80 that I spotted in a Denver yard not long ago.
This car seems laughably no-frills by 2012 standards, but this was pretty plush for the Accord's price. Look, automatic transmission! Bucket seats!
The folks at Honda were very proud of their newfangled power steering system.
I'm sure Honda USA old-timers reminisce fondly about the late 1970s and early 1980s, when Accord buyers stood ten deep to buy Accords and no other manufacturer had anything that even approached the value-per-buck level of this car. Not like now.


Toyota ads of this era were a little more entertaining, but then they had to be.

Japanese-market ads were fun, though. CVCC!
