   See if you can find a Chevy HHR. It looks like a mini-suburban from 1949,   
   seats 5 and they also make a windowless version to look like a mini-panel   
   truck similar looking to the 30s and 40s.   
      
   A bit more reliable.

   I hear that. That one is kinda like owning a Jaguar...they usually sit in   
   the mechanic's garage waiting on repairs.
