Yup, I've noticed the same thing. '95 Caprice 9C1.

and I have an 88 Fiero GT, and fellow owners tend to wave also.

They're not waving at you, they're trying to get you to realize your car is on fire.

Heh the 88s were redesigned and didn't have the fire problem 😉

The opportunity to burn him was just too good.
 
FJ Cruiser drivers do this. When we first bought ours, we passed a guy with the same colors and options we had so our trucks were identical. So we waved and grinned like idiots as we passed him. He looked very uncomfortable about it.
 
I have a new Jeep GC and I seem to get waves from other Jeep owners, new and old. I always thought the GC got no respect, but it hasn't been that way for me. I get let in or out in traffic by other Jeep owners and I do the same. I don't consider my GC to be a real Jeep, but I don't seem to be getting the cold shoulder from those who do drive the real ones.
 
I get lots of waves from other Yaris owners. I almost always get questions in parking lots and gas stations from people asking if the car is a hybrid and how it can be so quiet if it's a gas car.
 
GTO owners wave to me now. First time it happened, I was waiting to pull out of a side road. And somebody beeped their horn a couple times and I didn't see where it came from and I thought "What's thast asshole beeping at?". Then a 68 GTO goes past with the guy waving to me. I started cracking up. My girlfriend didn't know why he was waving to us. "I'm like "That guy was driving a GTO, we're in the club now!", hehehe.
 
I tried for 5 years to get PT Cruiser drivers to wave. I finally gave up.

The saturn s-series drivers tend not to wave, we are too busy trying to hold the pieces of our cars together!
