1982 – Ford Escort
The Ford Escort was built to replace Ford’s 1981 Pinto. The Ford Escort’s popularity surpassed the Oldsmobile Cutlass by the recession year of 1982, and it became the best-selling car in America for that year. It sold more than 330,000 units in the year.

1983 – Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme
It seems that the Cutlass wasn’t giving its best-selling title away without a fight. It may have lost it in 1982 but quickly got it back the following year. However, the sad news is that this is the last time the Cutlass or any Oldsmobile receives this title again.
