very rare ? ?

due to the very fact that my favorite US made cars were not available in the mideast as rentals..this was my car of choice when TDY, would specify 5 speed floor shift...fun to drive...and as to the comment on small...look around you at the things that allowed on the roads in the US today including the major interstates...SMART cars, plus a host of others...the very boxes used that a decent V8 engine is shipped to you within. IN retrospect the car pictured appears to have survived very well the wear and tear of time...while not for everyone...many PAKs grew up driving one of these as their first car....one has to remember the niche this car filled..not necessary like, but remember.
