Mostly 90's SUV's a handful of malaise era Detroit sedans and the obligatory Lumnias and Taurus'. In fact, and we were a big dealership, the only odd ball thing we got was a BiTurbo that barely made it in under a cloud of blue smoke. As has been said even in the height of the recession not many people were willing to trade anything with even slight collector value for a Kia or Fusion. \n\nI also have to respectfully disagree that the CFC program compares to the WWII war drives. Those had a sense of civic unity that drove people to turn their old cars, beds and just about everything to support the country and the greater good not for the dollar. CFC was driven mostly by lower income people that couldn't afford to buy newer cars or buy bargain hunters looking to trade in the junk that was sitting in their driveways to get a good deal on a new car. Totally different. \n\nIn WWII people were wrapped up in a sense of lets do what we can to win the war and come together, kids were trolling the streets for every scrap of metal and rubber they could because they couldn't go out and fight, women were saving their household fats so it could be made into munitions. Cities were tearing down their Civil War memorials so that they could turn the Cannons and cannon balls into tanks and ships. All in the name of victory. Its something that most of us can't imagine today (and I am only 40). In fact the city of Portland OR had a battleship the USS Oregon which was one of the most famous ships, a hero of the Spanish American War as a floating museum and monument at the start of the war and it was donated to be scrapped after Pearl Harbor out of civic duty. The mast still stands in Portland today. Could you imagine New York scrapping the Intrepid to aid the war on terrorism?
