i'd be more embarrassed to be seen in one rather than worried about it catching on fire

This thing cost $1995.00 Seriously. I think you also could get a discount with Green Stamps, but I'm not sure. (The reason I remember is that the Polaroid Swinger camera cost $19.95 and they came out at about the same time.) Go ahead search for the swinger commercial now...

People are fixing them up to look like hot rods cuz the body style looks sporty. Wasn't the best cars. But ours ran forever.

Ah, what memories I have of this, the first in a long line of POS cars I owned in my youth. Mine was fire engine red and had (now don't laugh) "racing stripes" and a Ford aftermarket air conditioner.
