2020 Acura RDX tech SH-AWD, 2023 Maverick hybrid Lariat luxury package.
The '56 Belvedere was somewhat similar, with the two-toning low on the rear of the car...
Meanwhile, the '58 DeSoto abandoned that "Sweepspear" as they called it, and went for a more slender contrast:

saw this while I was at BaT. Very cool. Also in the next town over when I lived in Jersey, so I might have taken a look. But the RHD would be an issue.

You can't trust anybody anymore.
Subsequent review.
The price of this 2008 Acura RDX is $4900, but a vehicles that's 17 years old and has 215,000 miles I'd guess is already be past the 95% mark in terms of its lifespan, and is maybe even closer to 99%? That's especially true because it has a turbo engine. There are lots of service records, but with these years and mileage doesn't seem like much comfort. I don't think this vehicle would be a good risk even for a budget buyer. At this same dealer yesterday, for 4k flat, there was a 2013 BMW 3-series with 130k or so miles. The BMW also had a carfax (lots of maintenance and no accidents) and looked to be in really nice condition. Unlike RDX the BMW description had a warning that it hasn't been checked out, probably has major mechanical issues, buyer beware and so on. But on the surface of it, although both would be risky, I might pick the BMW bc it was newer and didn't have as many miles. Shortly after I looked at it the BMW listing vanished, and so I guess it was sold. Anyway, glad I can afford new at his point.

It’s like human life expectancy. If the average is 75 years, and I’m 75, that doesn’t mean I’m going to die tomorrow. You have to look at the average life expectancy for 75 year olds, which is longer.
The price is interesting. Mine was $15,000 Cdn new in ‘85.

That price is absurd.
And get a load of that “MSRP” on the VW Cabrio.

Import one from Japan, and make some money!

That price is in line with the sales prices on BAT, lots over $15,000.

Would have to confirm specs. The boosted models pull far more, of course. With 68k miles and no boost, nothing special here.
I definitely could import them far cheaper, but RHD brings less money, too.

One may notice something is unusual here:
Oh, that's what's unusual, a 302:

Not that car but did the conversion with a Volvo.

I didn’t scroll all the way and I was going to say that aftermarket head unit was unfortunate.
I don’t hate the 302 in there. Probably runs nice

I think the Volvo 302 swaps are really cool too.

It makes sense. You can buy anything for a 302 and it will run on bad gas and no oil pressure forever.

Of course. Paul Newman and Dave Letterman each famously had a v8-swapped Volvo.

Sadly, many of the cars appeared lived in. There were a few with potential if you felt like rolling the dice. The Audi Q5 was the cleanest. Practically no chance that it's running.
Bentley would make for a nice apartment

I would have bought the Miata. Only a cat could live in one of those.

Aston looks like a modestly face lifted V8 from the 70s. Same 3 speed automatic too!
