Fun day

Famliy members hung out with our nonegenarian while I spent some time with a friend. We all got in a walk, and ate in shifts later on, due to varied schedules.
While out on an errand, I heard a man telling a younger fellow,"A guy who hasn't dated since 1984; that's who drives one of those cars." So tempted to ask him what model he was referring to, but it shall continue a mystery. De Soto? El Camino? Many possibilities...
