Find of the Day: 1988 Audi 90 quattro

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="46152"] words: Bill, photos: Al Stephens 1988 wasn't a kind year for Audi in America. From selling roughly 75,000 cars in 1985 to plunging to 23,000 in 1988 due to the unsubstantiated Audi 5000 'unintended acceleration' scandal, Audi was struggling to bring in buyers. One family, however, was not phased by the hysterics. They bought a new Audi 90 quattro off the lot and drove it home. That 90 quattro is the car you see here. [gallery link="none" ...
