Maine local soda I saw someone mention and wanted to concir: Moxie. It's like the Dr Pepper of Maine. And it's been around forever.

Rich rural folk loved Chevy Suburbans , you could get some really nice interiors if you opted for them.

A low-income off-road vehicle you'd often see were Baja bugs: 1960-1974 VW beetles with their fenders chopped and suspensions tweaked up. While they had anemic heaters for Maine winters, the cool summers let their aircooled engines run for many years. They were definitely prone to rust and not many survived to the late 90s and beyond. in 1988 you'll find many VW enthusiasts proud to show that they can make it as deep into the terrain as the heavy expensive 4x4 boys...
