How about the retro Thunderbird that Ford re-introduced in the early 2000s. From certain angles, the convertible is kinda nice looking. Saw a 50th anniversary edition yesterday that made me think of it. I don't think they are making them anymore and wonder how they are holding their value?

Of course, on the same trip, I saw three Pontiac Azteks, the world's ugliest vehicle.

ya, I believe that the Crossfire/Phaeton are hidden gems. the Aztek was a failure that deserved it's own category. It had no hidden potential/value as I recall save a custom tent in it?
I remember reading the reports about sales execs being ordered to drive them around and "look happy".

  1. I had a 1990 Buick Reatta, red with tan leather seats and tan top. It was the best car I had ever owned in that I had absolutely no trouble with it. I particularly liked the fact that they engineered the top to fold down into the trunk, which could be done quickly, even while you were at a red light if you wanted to, all without any electric motors or hydraulic problems. It was purely a manually operated top. It had a rear glass window in the rear which never came loose, and a 3.8 liter ,6 cylinder engine that actually ran trouble free for 325,000 miles. I sold it recently and bought the Crossfire- Do you think I will get anywhere near that total milage? I Hope so, but I doubt it.
