DF and I went looking for a used car for DD on Sunday. We pull onto the Ford lot and before I can even say anything, she says, I don't know what you see in those things. My mouth hit the floor. Guess I know which way this one is going to go. 
Starting Score: 469
Since we've introduced cars other than Chevrolets and Dodges, my dream car is an Austin-Healey 3000 Mk III, British Racing Green, of course, with the passenger seat removed (sorry, no riders!) and personalized license plates that read "M T NEST".
If the car doesn't ring a bell, it's the one in the video for Tears for Fears' "Everybody Wants to Rule the World." Alas, they're probably all owned by rich dentists in New Jersey now.

Yes, but you are old, Father William.
Is it true that there were more of them in the US than in Britain? Supposedly it was easier to find old ones here because there were more to start with, and the ones in England had terminal rust. But that was before the car collection frenzy hit, and little cool gems like these were snapped up and locked in some rich guy's 8-bay garage.
Interesting blog and replies. Those folks are a little harsh with the replies huh? Geez. I like Rusty Shackleford though (Dale Gribble's alias) LOL.
