Cal seems to be down to four dealerships now. Or I should say his son is down to four - I think Cal has pretty much retired. My Anchorage bud sees his son on the TV commercials up there now.
I was fast and heavy and burned very cheap fuel, And could probably crush any passenger car in a duel You'd think I'd sell thousands, but there was a hitch I was fussy and unusual, and made for the rich.
I'm older than Mercury but not as old as Ford In my era, I might have struck a Cord.
Another Hint: I don't use one fuel for motive power, but two, and yes I am a car and look very much like a car of my time. I look quite dapper, especially if driven by a flapper.
Hahahah; he does! My grandparents purchased a vehicle or two from there - I even went with them when they purchased their '97 F350 there. I am such a disgrace. *hangs his head in shame*

This came to mind because I had a call from someone asking me to check one out for a guy. Seller wanted $3500. I drove up, walked around it, opened the door, opened the hood and drove away. Seller said it was "ready for cooking oil conversion" and I thought "ready for conversion into Chinese tea pots".
That's true, although once-expensive junk tends to still be expensive to maintain. Come to think of it though, when I owned a diesel Rabbit the diesel-specific bits were pretty expensive for it too.

When I first appeared I looked quite weird But my roundish style Rubbed off on others for a while My motor laid flat in the middle I could carry a lot, can you guess this riddle?
Yeah, that has to be it. I love those vans. I have wanted to get ahold of an AWD version, but it seems all the ones the crop up around here are used up junk.

Yep, she got her long scarf tangled in the rear wheel of an Amilcar (by majority vote of the sources I can find on the web). I was thinking Bugatti, based on an Automobile Quarterly article I read about 40 years ago, but most now think it was an Amilcar. The accident happened in '27, and no detail is known about the specific model.

Cal was a car dealer version of Crazy Eddie in NYC - tacky, but memorable, commercials.
I had no idea that Cal was still alive and kickin. Wow.
Gremlin,
Probe, ...
I thought "Impact" but I think GM called it the EV1.
My design is asymmetric
This should only take a short while
Because my design is Versa-tile
OK, here's another.....
I was built Down Under
Only my turbo model had some thunder
A convertible in a mismatched line of cars
Might as well have sold me on Mars
And could probably crush any passenger car in a duel

but driving me wasn't exactly a dream
I came with 2 doors only
My showrooms were lonely

My concept was called Ibuki
A fun sort of throwback
But I can't even tow a bike rack
Who am I?
But now that's just an also ran
I'm the *used* car the freaks all love
They can turn "green" and feel so "above".
I promise release from gas pump chains
But not necessarily driveway stains.
(sorry, not too many hippies left to hang out with)

Sorry for the delayed response, I took the weekend off.
As I wasn't very thirsty
But having just 2 seats
Limited my feats
High Fidelity I was not
Good mileage is what you got
Sipping mochaccinos
smaller than a Semi
but I won't have a Hemi
Question is, in the lineup, will I fit?
Before the company is forced to quit?
She had nicknamed the driver/mechanic "Buggatti".
Hint: it's being displayed as a concept study now.
If it replaced the Sebring, think about it - Chrysler would have no sedans smaller than the full-sized 300C.
That's insane.
