Vehicle Description
Razor-sharp and distinctive, this 1985 Honda Prelude displays its
Graphite Gray Metallic paint across taut, geometric body panels
that defined a new direction in Japanese automotive design. A
standout competitor when Honda was making its mark on American
roads, featuring those unmistakable flip-up headlights that
disappear into the low front clip. The factory pinstriping runs
along the profile with subtle precision, enhancing the car's clean
lines without overdoing it. Rolling on original 13-inch wheels
wrapped in 185/70R13 tires, this Prelude maintains its correct
stance and authentic mid-80s proportions.
The gray cloth bucket seats provide lateral support during quick
lane changes and tight corners. Honda's engineering excellence
shows in the dashboard layout with its straightforward analog
instrumentation and no-nonsense control arrangement. The AM/FM
cassette player sits ready for your favorite mixtapes, a genuine
artifact from the pre-digital era. The floor shifter positions
perfectly for quick gear selection during daily driving. Power
steering makes navigating parking lots and canyon roads equally
effortless. The matching gray door panels and carpeting create a
consistent color palette throughout.
A 1.8 Liter inline-4 cylinder manages an excellent balance of fuel
economy and acceleration with its dual 3-barrel carburetors. The
4-speed automatic transmission handles gear changes with a direct
mechanical feel typical of 80s Honda engineering. Four-wheel power
disc brakes give a solid pedal feel and direct stopping ability.
Independent rear suspension with coil springs and shocks allows
this Prelude to maintain composure over rough road surfaces. The
factory single exhaust with catalytic converter offers a subtle
tone while maintaining emissions compliance.
