everyone loves nostalgia—especially now in the digital, social media age. Don’t believe us? Ask the people closest to you whether they choose vinyl over Spotify, original films over CGI remakes and classic rock over K-pop. digital time hops like Throwback Thursday (#TBT) and flashback Friday (#FBF) have gained global popularity over the last decade. As the new year rapidly approaches, what better way to pay homage to the automotive industry than to look back at some of the coolest throwback cars to resurrect in 2020?
BMW Isetta
Because of its odd, egg-like shape, some people may immediately
recognize this amazing throwback as the “Steve Urkel car” from the ‘90s hit show, Family
Matters. While the BMW Isetta was popular in Italy in the early 1950s, it would
make a terrific addition to 2020’s inventory of cars as well. because it
requires minimal fuel consumption, it furthers the goal of decreasing our environmental
impact around the globe.

Pontiac
GTO
According to Cheapism.com, the
Pontiac GTO, also known as “The Goat”, was widely considered to be the vehicle
that kicked off the era of the muscle automobile when it debuted in 1964. This brash,
yet sleek classic is worthy of a comeback! In the year 2020, this vehicle’s “James
Dean-style” exterior ought to be restored with only a few modern touches to the
interior.

DeLorean DMC-12
Originated in 1973, the DeLorean is the supreme throwback
vehicle, mostly recognized for its time-traveling abilities in the Back to
the Future movies. These sportscars would make all the heads turn on
today’s road with its gull-wing doors and brushed stainless steel outer body
panels. Seeing this two-seater frequently on the streets again would take us
right back to 1985!
Stout Scarab
Known to be “ahead of its time”, this spacious throwback automobile not
only had moveable seats, but also a fold-out table for its passengers! We can
see this car making a substantial impact in the era of Lyft and Uber rides, as it
would certainly come in useful when traveling in large groups.
AMC Pacer
The AMC Pacer, aka “moon buggy”, is widely recognized as Garth’s
retro-futuristic automobile from the ‘90s cult classic, Wayne’s World. known to
be larger than it was tall, the Pacer featured a distinct three-piece rear
window that made it look much more like a spaceship than a car. With a lighter, more
powerful engine, the AMC Pacer could easily be resurrected in 2020 as a popular
go-to sportscar.
