The Sandstone Decade is a luxury sedan by Sandstone Cars.
1978 — 1985[]
The first edition of the Decade was introduced in the late 1970s. The engine was a 4-series 400 EPM.
The car featured a roomy interior with seating for five. The Decade was the first car to include a GPS system. The car came in the following trims:
- Base
- BusinessSuite - included tan leather seats and wood paneling
- Touring - support for extra engine life
After poor sales, the Decade was pulled from the production line in 1985.
Revival: 2005 — 2009[]
The Decade was reintroduced in 2005 as an extremely rare and limited sedan.
The "new" Decade was packed with a 6-series 800 EPM engine, with seating for 4.
The car is packed with luxuries. Advanced features include four LCD flat-screens, live satellite television, rear air conditioning, power seats equipped in all seats, and a 2 GB hard drive for MP3 playback.
The car currently has only sold 85,000 vehicles, and produced 95,000. Production in recent years has gone like this:
| 2005 | 2006 | 2007 |
|---|---|---|
| 30,000 | 45,000 | 20,000 (through September 2007) |
