It was in a piece talking about Malaise Motors, a Facebook group.
I agree that by the mid 80's, the inventory was getting better. Thunderbird Turbo Coupe and Taurus SHO replaced velour and opera windows.
From the Hemming's article:
"On the internet, there’s are groups that enjoy this epoch of the automotive world for what it is and what it can be. Some love the formal, luxurious feelings that cars like 1970s Cadillacs, Lincolns and Imperials provided. Others can see the performance potential that manufacturers left on the table with the muscle car nameplates that managed to live past 1974. Many just love these cars since they aren’t priced out of the market compared to modern machines and the muscle-era offerings. One of these groups is Malaise Motors, a Facebook-based group that focuses on vehicles from 1972-1995. Created by Bryan Raab Davis as what originally was supposed to be an outlet for his personal tastes, Malaise Motors is just one of quite a few pages that are dedicated to Malaise-era machines."
