The term "classic" is now, due to overuse, pretty much meaningless.

Even the vehicle manufacturers are guilty. Chevrolet, for example, adding the term to the name of the older version of an existing model (Malibu, Silverado) just before it is superseded by the newer version.

Of course it is - a 1985 car is 30 years old now. It's very difficult to find one in good condition with low mileage - classic.

I can name 3 Buick models from 1985 that are becoming desirable classics; for starters the Regal Grand National is already there.

2-door variants of the LeSabre Collector's Edition equipped with a V8. 2-doors of that car were rare back then, let alone now, and it was the last year of a body on frame rear drive V8 LeSabre.

Also the Riviera from 1985 is worth a look, convertible or hardtop; also the last Riv with a V8 and big body style.
