The Great Recession was a tough, dark time. The world’s financial markets were reeling and things were just as bad in the U.S. In the two year period from February 2008 to February 2010, nearly nine million jobs were lost. Industries were heavily impacted and the auto industry was no exception.
GM and Chrysler nearly collapsed — both companies technically went through Chapter 11 reorganization — Ford came close though the company was able to secure a loan at the last minute. Foreign automakers suffered as well but not as bad as the Americans. Toyota and Honda reported big losses for instance. However manufacturing during this period suffered, especially with U.S. makes though they weren’t the only ones.
What you’ll see here is a few examples of some of the worst car interiors from that era. From luxury cars to family sedans and everything in between, a lot of these interiors are a reminder of just how bad we had it.
