The Valiant was an entry level compact car built by Plymouth from 1960 to 1976. The third generation (released in 1967) competed with the Ford Falcon and Chevrolet Nova - even to the point of sharing their rectilinear design philosophy...tell that to anyone who says cars look similar today!

The Opel GT was a compact sports car by GM's European subsidiary Opel
from 1965 to 1973. The little "poor man's Vette" (reference to its styling
similarity with Chevrolet's C3 Covette) was sold and maintained at Buick dealers in North America, an odd place to find a European transplant and undoubtedly part of the reason it was sales failure. The Opel GT has been cheap
enough for years that scores have been crushed and sometime soon we
expect the remaining cars to keep appreciating...such as this one. Find this 1973 Opel GT offered for $8,700 in Berkeley, CA via craigslist. Tip from Kaibeezy.

Hans Glas GmbH was a small vehicle manufacturer based in the town of Dingolfing in Bavaria. Glas was originally founded as Glas started business as an agricultural repair shop,
but in the 1950s started building its own small sports coupes. In 1962 Glas started building the BMW 1500 version of the New Class sedan and in 1966 Glas was outright purchased by BMW to gain access to its patents and large manufacturing
facility. Today the Dingolfing factory builds
BMW 5, 6 and 7 series automobiles, but many years ago they built a small coupe simply called the GT. Find this 1967 Glas GT offered for $3900 in Ventura County, CA via craigslist.
The Toyota Corona was the bottom of the line for Toyota's North American lineup until 1969 when the Corolla was introduced. That doesn't mean that the Corona is a bad car, just that it was a compact and not equipped with a bunch of power options...but for a Japanese classic this isn't bad because it means less stuff to break. Find this 1970 Toyota Corona Sedan offered for $8,600 in Los Angeles, CA via craigslist.

The Pontiac Bonneville was a plus sized American sedan built from 1958 to 2005. The Bonneville was a mediocre pile of cliches about old people when it made the switch from rear-drive to front-drive in 1987, but nothing could turn in the tide of falling sales. The Bonneville went out of production a few years before Pontiac closed its doors for good in 2010. Just because it was a turd when new doesn't mean that a minty clean example with low miles for a song/dance isn't appealing to the cheapskate car nut. Find this 1991 Pontiac Bonneville SE

The 5th generation Mazda 929 was built from 1992 to 1995 as a big rear-drive competitor to the Lexus LS, BMW 5-series, Audi A6/5000, and Infiniti Q45. It was halfheartedly replaced by the front-drive Millennia, but Mazda was unwilling to spin off a luxury brand like Infinity, Acura, or Lexus and realigned its focus to bread/butter family sedans. This is a shame because the 929 was a pretty darn good take on the Q-ship without using a pretentious badge or making you open your wallet too wide. Today, even super clean examples cost less than a round trip greyhound ticket to the nearest casino. Find this 1992 Mazda 929 offered for $2,200 in the borough of Lodi, NJ.
The Lexus LS was first introduced in 1989 but it took a few years before buyers were willing to accept a S-Class sized offered from a Japanese manufacturer. Ironically just as the second generation LS was getting into production, Mercedes was going into the dark era of Daimler-Chrysler when quality went out the door like scruples on Wall Street. As Mercedes mortgaged its extensive history of building bulletproof sedans with plastic and poorly assembled junk, Toyota was paying it forward with a line of maintenance free luxury automobiles that have stood the test of time.

You are an Libertarian leaning Republican who loves air cooled Volkswagens, but you can't drive a Beetle or a "Hippie Bus" because you'll look like a damn communist.
