I had an 88 Grand Prix SE... it was white with the white matching wheels, identical to the picture of the one in the motor trend car of the year for 88! Loved that car, still wish I had it.
Been going to the Chicago Auto Show for years since the 80s. Something to look forward to every year. It's been really fascinating to what the evolution of the automotive industry during that time frame. Thanks for posting this!
That happens with a lot of concept cars. Their designs tend to be so out there that they end up making great sci-fi movie vehicles, even a few years after they were produced.
Wrong and wrong again. The cell phone was invented in 1983 but even before that the car phone had been around for around 40 years at that point. In fact, my mom got her first cell phone around this time but we were so used to calling it a car phone, that's what we would call it. Also, SUV's were almost 20 yeas old at this point and sales were steadily increasing in 1988.
@@bh2155 actually that's not really correct either. While it's true sedans led in sales, the Bronco, Blazer, Wrangler, Rodeo, Trooper, Sidekick and a few others were extremely popular and sold extremely well. I can tell you as someone who turned 16 in 1988 these are the autos we wanted. In fact they were doing so well by 1990 automakers started designing more and more SUV's that would soon hit the road just a few years after the 1988 auto show such as the Explorer, Escape and Rav4. Also, when I said SUV I was more referring to what is sometimes called CUV however the SUV/CUV dominated the auto market for its first 50 years or so. Heck, the Chevy Suburban is around 100 years old. It wasn't until the mid 50's that what became what we know as a modern sedan started to take hold of the market. Lastly, he said no SUVs.
Ok, that snippet interview with Giugiaro was a treat! My favorite automotive stylist of all time. (My family's owned several vehicles that have been penned by him)
This was very exciting to watch. 1988 is my birth year so this was so amusing see. MotorWeek please upload more classic Auto show footage please please thank you!
I distinctly remember the '88 auto show here in Denver. No dancers or theatrics out here. My grandparents were looking to replace their huge '76 cougar and we went to check out the new cars. I was hoping to see a Subaru xt6 but ended up falling in love with the Fiero GT. My grandparents ended up buying a new W body Grand Prix a few weeks later
The most impressive thing about recordings from the past is the number of special Science fans that leave indelible education for future generations with comments pointing out that things from before have changed into different things now or sometimes disappeared and been replaced by similar things that work how things work now rather than how things worked then, that things were often quite different before, and, that people from before have probably got older if they are still here now and will therefore not be the same age as they were then. We are very lucky that we live in a age where, for the first time, a generation has emerged that is receiving ultimate unifying knowledge of everything and, with this finalised learning, is generously spreading an understanding of all the stuff that has been newly noticed.
That Cadillac concept is gorgeous! I feel like I could drive that down the road now and people would think it's a new model. You can definitely see how it influenced the front shape of the redesigned Deville for 1994.
This was a time when manufacturers were actually creative and tried to make unique cars. Nowadays all they have to offer is a few cars on 10 year old platforms that have not been redesigned in years or crossovers and SUVs that all look the same. Does anyone even go to auto shows anymore?
I went to the one in Atlanta this past year (right before COVID) my goal is to go to the ones in New York, Detroit, and LA once things kinda return to normal
Um, counterpoint, no it wasn't. Starting in the mid 70's automakers began to realize it was MUCH cheaper to build shared platforms and parts. There were SEVERAL different models of GM vehicles for example that looked alike only changing the name and/or GM company. The 80's was also when American automakers were putting out pure junk that would breakdown ever time you turned around. It's one of the reasons why my mom after so many years of buying American cars bought a Volvo because she wanted something more reliable.
@@kenyattaclay7666 You are hot on that guy's tail, aren't ya. LOL Holy cats. I think he meant unique designs, as in, not counting parts bin sharing. There is a very homogenized quality to car styling these days with rare exception. Even interiors, Mazda first ripped off the BMW dash, and then because Mazda got such praise for their interiors many other manufacturers started to duplicate the same basic design. Same for the big mouth grilles. Today many of the steering wheels are almost identical. They're so hyper focused on the cash aspect that they'll rip off any idea if they have reason to believe i't desired. You can no longer tell a BMW from anything else from the backside, the grille may give it away in the front, BMWs look like HYundais and Hyundai adopted this radical styling now (which is great from the back, heinous from the front). Cadillac has maintained originality, Honda too, though i've not liked the specific designs.
@@kgbeezr75 first, read everything I wrote because even “back in the day” most autos were so called homogenized and looked a lot alike. Look at a Pacer, Pinto and a Gremlin all had shared designs. Third, if you can’t tell the difference between a BMW and a Mazda from a mile away then you are either blind or stupid, which is it?
@@kenyattaclay7666 Aw, don't be like that, c'mon, let's be friends! :) The Pacer and Gremlin shared similar designs, but the pacer had the radical styling at the rear that the Gremlin didn't have, from behind you'd never mistake one for the other, even from the side. The pinto was a completely different design, really nothing at all in common with the other two aside from being a 2 door hatchback. As for your other question, well, see, I do have some blurry vision, but the problem there is that I can't see close up, far away i'm good. Like do you know how it is when you're trying to read something small, but you bring it up close to your face only to realize you can't see there, but you CAN see far away, but then far away the text is too tiiinny, itty bitty? It's a conundrum, been thinking about talking to my doctor about it, but she's actually a veterinarian. She charges less and i'm a bargain hunter. That's why I go to her. I'm thinking though that I might try to see a plumber instead next time because he at least has the right equipment for optometry...the plunger and stuff...I mean, for when you need an eyeballectomy, you know? Have you ever had one of those? They're crazy. Welp, as much as i'd love to take up some more of your time, i'm going to sign off and make an appointment with my vet, K, bye!
Been watching MotorWeek episodes since it started way back on October 15, 1981. Been enjoying that familiar voice of John Davis ever since. Thankfully that show stuck around for years and years. Hopefully, it'll keep going like that for many more to come. A++ #1 job!!! Thanks!!!!
Mmm, some really nice late 80s aerodynamic goodness on display here. I love it. I hope to see the design cues of the late 80s make a comeback sometime in the future.
@@bilbobaggins4710 Good to know. I asked because I see a lot of people who scream sexism in these cases but when male models are used for attraction and are even objectified, then I don't see anybody saying the same because the don't consider it to be sexism.
Glad to see the Z Turbo (I at 27 in 1995 owned the 87 non turbo with digital display I think for a short while) with the nice turbo wheel design, good old memory
The Z31 was fantastic. The digital dash was excellent and interior were very ergonomic. It was a great driver's car. (I was lucky enough to find a minty Turbo. I loved that car.) The Turbo at the auto show appears to be a Shiro edition.
Look forward to getting back to the big auto show in LA! I went to the German IAA in Frankfurt in 1985 and ‘87. The BMWs and Benzes were amazing and Porsche showed the 959!! I got an amazing poster of the dark red one there that I misplaced. It’s probably worth $1,000 by now ha. 🏁
The Chicago Auto Show is still awesome. I love going to the aftermarket (non-manufacturer) area because there are always some really interesting show cars and accessories back there. Unfortunately another casualty of COVID, hopefully it's back in 2022!
New York Auto Show in 1988 looked the same way.Don't quite remember the cars but there were plenty of pretty ladies! Glad to see John made it out of the desert in 1 piece
Oldsmobile really died 1988 and up with the final nail in FWD boring mom cutlass cars.... 3:02 giorgetto giugiaro! Thank u for the designing the delorean, the mk1 golf, alfa romeo giulia sprint Gt, pantera...!!!
Giugiaro desgined the Mk1 Scirocco, the Passat 1/Dasher, and the Mk1 Polo as well, and I give him credit for the Mk1 Jetta because the trunk fits in perfectly with his folded origami style. He also designed the Isuzu Piazza / Impulse as well.
I love the synth-y song that plays after Giugiaro. Sounds like a track from the original Gran Turismo. Digging the dark red Chevy concept car. I see impala inspiration there (oddly enough I’m not huge on that generation impala’s styling).
We do as well. We used to stay in the city the night before and go have a nice dinner on the mag mile and then check out from hotel and go straight there. Now sadly we do not always time to take off work to do those fun things. But will take the day off to go. The picture I have of the red mustang you see
My dad and I stared our yearly tradition of going to the CAS I think it cost 6 dollar and we parked on a side street near the hospital. We went to Ricobenes for 2 breaded steak sandwiches and a pitcher of beer after about a 3 hour walk around and way to may brochures .....Our last trip was about 10 years ago...with 1/2 off tickets it was still 8 dollars per person to get in and Ricobenes was around 40 dollars... and the worst was all the schools that allowed school trips to the show....He did buy two cars ( via salesmen from the show) 1988 GMC Safari van Cho-Cho custom edition and his 2003 Chevy Impala...he still wants that one back.....
"70 million dollars in cars and entertainers", says Craig Singhaus....by the looks of the way the money was spent, it was 70 million on cars, and the entertainers were volunteers from the crowds...
Odd how they could get the rounded lines of the 90's and 00's but couldn't figure out larger wheels. The show cars all have very simple and non-showy 14-16'' wheels. Did no one think of bigger wheels back then making show cars more showy? Not even any spoked wheel designs.

They would probably think you’re insane. “People afraid of a flu? Get a life man!”
Odd how they could get the rounded lines of the 90's and 00's but couldn't figure out larger wheels. The show cars all have very simple and non-showy 14-16'' wheels. Did no one think of bigger wheels back then making show cars more showy? Not even any spoked wheel designs.
