That's easy...Oh, you said tunER car.
Makes a nice companion to the last '70s Buick I saw- a Malaiserific Skylark Landau..
The Eagle was a fairly common sight here in Maine when I was growing up- but unfortunately not quite as common as the aforementioned Subaru. I think the real market for this "crossover" (ugh, can't believe I used that phrase) was the same then as it is now, and the Eagle just didn't have the yuppie cred. What it did have was a rugged I6 and a body that didn't disintegrate within minutes of hitting the carlot- but I think those customers probably were more likely to buy a Wagoneer.
Incidentally, should you find yourself in the late 1950s and in the mood for a pickup truck with fins, Dodge has you covered.
I'd buy a '59 DeSoto wagon and a Sawzall. Limited to the choices at hand, definitely the El Camino. Heck, you could always beef up the suspension after the fact.

Stretching the "rules" a bit perhaps, but I don't care. The Kaiser Traveler.
Continuing to channel Mike The Dog....
#16 is easy to understand- being a Toyota pickup, the frame had rotted in half anyway, so the owner figured what the hell.
@dal20402: His coworkers told me he parks like that every day. :) I'm guessing the idea was to create a "buffer" around his car.. but I agree 100%.
