USA 88-91 Civc Wagon population numbers (July 2010)

At work, I occasionally do some statistical analysis of US vehicle population (read: the number of cars that are registered and legally driving around).

Give me a couple days and I'll try to gather info for the older wagons, but here are 88-91 Civic wagon numbers as of July 2010. Just thought some of you would find it interesting how few wagons there are. Also, here is a post on ef-honda (link) that covers all 88-91 Civic/CRX.

    Interesting info. Add 1 to the 1989 dx model for mine. It's not currently registered.

    Interesting info. Thanks for posting.

    It would be really interesting to track this information as a trend over the last decade, or for the next couple of years to see at what speed they are disappearing from the roads. Very cool info, thanks!

    Edit:

    4782 AWD wagons still registered in the US.

    21,862 wagons total still on the road today!

    Notice how the DX dropped after 89?

    That's interesting. I want to know more.
  • jpciiijpciii familEE
    oh, that's my fault for not typing the letters "DX"...

    In the US, two models were offered in 90-91 - the RT4WD, and the DX (marked simply "CIVIC" in the data I posted. In other words, the 90-91 FWD models are DX.)

    Sorry for the confusion.

    Thanks for the numbers. Im surprised that there are so few RT wagons out there.
  • simplyhondasimplyhonda Council Member
    That's neat info! Thanks!

    Whoa, that's crazy. I never knew my '88 Wago was as rare as it is. Gotta chalk it up to cash 4 Clunkers on this one I suppose, those bastards crushed everything from gas sippers and two year old newbies to luxury cars and rare collector's pieces that should NOT have made the cut with reckless abandon.
  • goosejaygoosejay Band Wagon
    89 4wd owner. that explains why people have been trying to snag this thing off me =]
  • JesseCRXJesseCRX Council Member

    Cool data. I was wondering if you (jpciii) could slice the data by geographic region in the USA. Maybe by state or divide the country into quarters? That would be neat to see where most wagons are congregated.
  • goosejaygoosejay Band Wagon
    I kinda stumbled into mine, Ive always had ED hatches and sedans....couple Ej's. I own a self owned shop here and some dude i know told me he wanted his hatch painted and swapped and offered it to me, I took it with no motor beat to hell interior. Reupholstered it and what not painted they bay primed it. There were NO badges on it, and one day i looked at the trans and it looked different, he said it was FWD. It was a RT4wd trans, so i ran the vin and it came back as an 89RT4wd. Ever since ive found that out people have been trying to get this thing off me everyday.
  • FejFej Wagonist
    Holy Crap! Just checked out the VIN numbers on my wagons. Both are '89s from the Suzuka factory. The gold one ("new") is 001940 and the red one is 001944! 4 cars apart! :shock:

    Now I'm not so confused. My car is a 90, finally got it figured out. Thanks Fej, for the link, very helpful. Still strange how my last three digits are 666 LOL but seriously it is.

    Great idea. Unfortunately, I only have access to nationwide numbers. Each state reports individually, but all that data is compiled together before the company I work for gets to see it.

  • IdahoHonda91IdahoHonda91 Wagonist
    Sorry for bringing back a dead post, but anyone have access to more updated numbers on this?
  • CharbCharb Administrator
    I would PM the original poster and see if he still has access to these numbers... he's around sometimes, but not much. PM him so he sees it next time he logs on.
  • klumklum Senior Wagonist
    just figure that every year theres like 5% less with a +/- of about 5% error, and boom you have your estimate ! haha
  • PopPopsGaragePopPopsGarage Council Member
    Ive been waiting for this forever!
  • arries289arries289 Wagonist
    Very cool post....I had been wondering about this for a long time....That explains why it took so long for me to find a real good 89 RT. Just wish it was manual....
  • jpciiijpciii familEE
    Hi guys. I received IdahoHonda91's PM about this thread...

    I no longer work for the company that purchased the vehicle registration data back in 2011. A year or so ago, out of curiosity, I emailed my friend at that job to see if they bought new data... they hadn't. It was expensive. I'll email him again. I doubt I'll be able to get new numbers, but if I do, I'll be sure to post them. I'm just as curious as everyone else about what the wagon population numbers look like today.
