One Car Model Has Dominated American Sales for Nearly 30 Years

What was the best-selling car in America the year you were born? For much of the past few decades, the answer came down to a surprisingly small group of familiar names. The Honda Accord owned the beginning of the 1990s, the Ford Taurus followed, and then the Toyota Camry settled in and barely gave up the title.

For this list, 24/7 Tempo reviewed historical U.S. sales data reported by automotive sources including Car and Driver and manufacturer sales reports. The ranking covers passenger cars only, so pickup trucks and SUVs are excluded. That distinction matters, especially in recent years, when trucks and crossovers have taken over much of the U.S. vehicle market. Images show the listed make and model where available, although the pictured model year may differ from the year being discussed.
