I imagine that thing smelling like cheap tequila and cigarettes mingled with cherry scented little tree air freshener. What happened to all those vans? I remember the custom van being pretty plentiful when I was a child but there doesn't appear to be any left at all. I desperately want one.

I am tempted to make a shag carpeting joke here.

Countachs are awesome, even with their almost lack of rear visibility.

I seem to remember that the rear wing cost an extra $4000.

Are we talking '70s dollars, or modern dollars?

Either way, it's one of those "well poo poo, I've come this far" type of situations. Imagine being the guy in the Lambo dealership worrying about whether he can afford the rear wing.

Sometime in the 80s because somebody noted that, for the price of the wing, you could have bought a Yugo.

I thought this was kind of cool in an old man kind of way. There's something about a terrible car that's a terrible color and it's in mint condition.

The most ridiculous vinyl top I ever saw was on a Volvo 850 sedan. With a sunroof.

They made the top to go around the sunroof. I can imagine the water that pooled up when it rained.

The white convertible looks like a 1970 Cutlass. The one you have tagged as a Pontiac Catalina is also a Cutlass.

That butt screams late-60's to mid-70's GM X-body. They didn't make any convertibles, though.

Edit: Mister Kingdom is right.

(Not the convertible, but you can see the resemblance.)

Olds made Cutlass convertibles through 1972.

Don't you have to buy a DBS or something and then you get a Cygnet? You can't buy them separatly right?

Sales will not be restricted; however, it is expected that demand from existing Aston Martin owners for Cygnet would initially take priority.

The car has been canceled due to hilariously low sales - 150 units of of an expected 4,000.
