For years I have been looking for a local group or club that has meets to take my car to and show it. Today at the grocery store I found a 1981 Malibu owner videoing my car. I constantly answer questions - usually "what year is it ?". Many ask what year Cadillac is it ? The make specific national club has local events but they look down on G Body cars and most all own 1960's and older. The national Oldsmobile and Pontiac clubs are dead locally as far as I can tell so that leads me to wonder if the national Chevrolet club has local members in any number with Malibu's ?
My car is quite rare with 7,364 sold and it was the top selling non station wagon body and series model and station wagons for the first time outsold all others combined by over 10,000 ! Many people have never seen the body style and have no clue it almost put Buick out of mid size car production. In Oldsmobile Cutlass production numbers it was selling in large quantities while extremely below previous years Cutlass volume.
The least popular body styles here in this forum, cursed and abuseful language used to describe them all over the internet - hated - and even cursed in comments, even in the Cutlass they are not plentiful today. And haters beware - people are even beginning to appreciate them today. Once thought of as tremendously ugly - take a look at the new cars. Egg shaped with the most ungainly and disorganized trim ever devised. Gawd aweful angles cutting into other angles that have no relation to anything is what buyers want now ???
It seems more people can appreciate two tone paint and chrome trim after seeing my old G Body car and looking at what fills the parking lots now.
There is a local Cars and Coffee but that is mostly all VW, BMW, Nissan, Volvo and other foreign can owners showing off their imports. A few super hot-rodded US make cars which don't interest most.
