I Had One Of The Coolest Honda's In My Car Club — I bought my first 1979 Prelude when I was about 20. I really liked it. It was dark blue almost black. I ended up painting it black. Unfortunately, I totaled it. I bought 2 more after that, both 81's but I always preferred the 79. The side marker lamps were lower on the fender.

Pros: sunroof

Cons: radio funky

An Experience! By Ryan
