The 1990s
Main Chronological Archives
This decade continued the progress of the 1980s, as body shapes shifted to more aerodynamic styles. Aside from cosmetic styling, wheel & tire sizes, advances in lighting, and the strength of pillars to prevent roof crush in rollover incidents, the late 1990s sees vehicles that are visually similar to what it still rolled off of assembly lines today.
The beginning of the decade belongs to the "soccer mom" and her minivan, but the rise of the sport utility vehicle also continues from the 1980s into the 1990s as the Ford Explorer is introduced and all automakers' SUV offerings become more refined and family-friendly. By the end of the decade, the minivan is becoming passé.
Showing a shift in American culture,
NASCAR overtakes IndyCar as America's most popular motorsport, and the Winston Cup series begins racing at the
Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
