Most car ‘aficionados’ don’t really consider the Disco Years to have been a very notable period for automobile design/innovation, but here are some of the hottest, most lusted after cars of the time . . .
1978 Chevrolet Camaro. This version of the Camaro was seen as significantly sleeker than its predecessors. The previous metal bumpers were removed and the rear taillights were redesigned to include 3-color lenses with the fuel door in the middle. T-tops were available on all models.
1977 Pontiac Trans Am. Remember this second generation Trans Am from the ‘Smokey and the Bandit’ movie? Yee-hah!
1976 Chevelle Laguna. Though still pretty funky in 1976, over the years the Chevelle Laguna had grown away from its muscle car roots. Production ended in 1977.
1979 Ford Mustang. This newly designed, lighter version of the Mustang eventually became very popular. It was the first Mustang built on the Fox platform and included a new link and coil spring rear suspension that continued to be used on Mustangs through the 2003 model year.
1979 Ferrari 308. This design defined ‘sports car’ during the Disco Years and, with its 3 liter V8 engine, helped cement the world’s view of Ferrari as one of the top high-end car manufacturers.
