Bryan, Ohio
Population: 8500
I remember sometime in the mid-nineties, my family took a Sunday trip to Bryan, Ohio from our home in S/E Michigan. I think we were intrigued by this town because its where the Etch-A-Sketch is made. However, what I remember most were the cars. I saw about 3 Corvairs, a few Elcaminos, and a US-version of the Mitsubishi Galant Lambda (one of the last times I ever saw one of those ultra-rare creatures in the wild).
Well, those have gone on to the big highway in the sky, and it was time to take a more current look at Bryan's cars.
Foreign brands are not strong sellers here, but since it is Ohio, Hondas are seen most often. The Accord looks to be the favorite, with the Civic a close second.
There are a lot of older Ford Tauruses and Rangers in town, and they almost made the top 5. Its interesting, because I associated this town with old Chevys, yet Ford seems to have a slight edge in popularity.
Bryan may not be the Corvair Capital of the midwest anymore, but we now know what has replaced Ralph Naders least favorite car:
1.Chevrolet full-size pickups
2. Ford F-series
3. Chrysler Minivans
4. Chevrolet Impala
5. Ford Escape
