I think that would be a cool retro car to make. All the manufacturers are 
scrambling for something retro to remake ever since the PT Cruiser came out. 
Unfortunately, only the Mini Cooper stands up very well. The new T-Bird looks like 
the interior was made from one piece of (cheap) stamped plastic, and the new 
Chevy "truck" is about the same. My picks to base a cool retro car on: 1954 or 
57 Corvette, 1957 Nomad, 1961 Rampside, 1965 Mustang, and probably the most 
likely to be a 100,000 car seller, a Nash Metropolitan. And to be real funky; 
the trio of the Pacer, Matador and Gremlin.
And for God's sake, spend about $25 more and have real metal trim on the dash!
