Nice call, but Sam & Max drive a '60 DeSoto (and so do I).
Here is the full list of cars converted by Straman (circa 1991). They also converted the '90-91 Dodge Stealth & Mitsubishi 3000GT, the '98-99 VW Beetle and the '90-91 Nissan 300ZX as well as several Ferrari models in the '90s. In addition to convertible conversions, they also were considered one of the country's top Ferrari restorers.
There is "lovable ugly" and there is "undisputed pure ugly". The Aztec is pure ugly.
As a CRX owner and from a "Honda only" family since 1983.....I am getting very interested in Hyundai. It might be time to change my allegance.
@Hofmeister_kink: I own and drive a '81 810 Maxima. It has been a great car for the past 12 years (though rust is now starting to consume it.)
@Hofmeister_kink: I still own and drive a '81 Datsun 810 Maxima. It has been a fantastic car for the last 12 years....and counting (though rust is consuming it now).

@CraigSu: The convertible was a Honda dealer option done by Straman Coach in Costa Mesa, CA. I have the original Honda window sticker that confirms the car was sold new as a convertible. Several hundred were built from '84-'87 and most were sold new at the Honda dealer. It is a dealer option, not a factory Honda option.
Though I have owned cars for 25 years, I still own my 3rd, 4th & 5th cars.
1. '78 TBird ('86-'89)
2. '84 Civic DX 3dr ('89-'99)
3. '81 Datsun 810 Maxima ('99-)
4. '60 DeSoto Adventurer ('97-)
5. '86 CRX convertible ('05-)
Of those five, each had/have a special place in my heart. All were great at something. "Best" might actually mean "best memories".
Maybe the reason I have never had a "best" car is because I have never spent more than $2500 for a car. Better cars usually cost more.

As the proud owner of a '60 DeSoto Adventurer, Happy New Year to Jalopnik as well!
Cool for $15K. Not a penny more.
Should I buy this nice Prelude convertible? Or...should I buy this '83 Datsun 200SX convertible on ebay? It's only $13K bin!
