It is [[Homer Simpson|Homer's]] car, and he uses it almost exclusively, although [[Marge]], [[Bart]], [[Lisa]] and even [[Maggie]] have driven it at some point. The car features: minor damage on the left front fender (which [[Homer]] has never had repaired), driver's side airbag, a column shiftier, a bent up radio aerial, and has a *Trackstar 8-Track radio. It was made in Croatia, out of old Soviet tanks.

Revision as of 12:11, 8 April 2020

The Pink Sedan (or the Family Sedan) is one of two automobiles belonging to the Simpson family. It is a Plymouth Junkerolla.[1]

It is Homer's car, and he uses it almost exclusively, although Marge, Bart, Lisa and even Maggie have driven it at some point. The car features: minor damage on the left front fender (which has never been repaired), driver's side airbag, a column shifter, a bent up radio aerial, and has a *Trackstar 8-Track radio. It was made in Croatia, out of old Soviet tanks, which might explain why parts of the car are crumpled.
