I am personally fond of Avis. I had to use rental cars for 4 years and their long term rental rates were great, they always gave me big upgrades and their customer service was top notch. I can't say enough good things about them.

There's an alternate universe where he's a bitter old man who's made every wrong decision since he bought that Sterling.

'65 Buick Riviera (GS?), don't think they had them before that year.

Shit, for five grand? Enjoy it til something major pukes, then sell it for more than you paid. NP all the way.

The coupé in particular, which had the same side profile as a dog doing a shit.

They already made an #unminivan, and it's awesome:

Who used the Paintbrush effect in Photoshop?

As long as you don't mind paying for shipping, I doubt most things are a problem if you don't mind used parts.

Steering wheels are certainly available for them, lots of used originals floating about as most of them have replacement ones from Momo, Nardi etc. plus there are plenty of more tasteful aftermarket options.
I…

You could get a tasteful steering wheel, gearstick and pedals for $100. The rest of it would then look quirky rather than crazy.

LED Lighting, 5 or 6 of the individual bulbs will be out per light, replacement costs will be huge. Every beater will be identifiable by partially lit tail lamps.

Alfa Romeo 164, somewhat underachieved in Europe and totally ignored in the US. despite that glorious V6...

Isuzu Axiom

Ford Flex Hybrid? No such thing.

Anything my father-in-law buys. Most notable are the aforementioned Mitsubishi Diamante and another one that you don't see at all any more, the Oldsmobile Aurora. The Aurora should have been a good car, but it just wasn't. Apparently weird styling and FWD with the Northstar V8 wasn't what the market wanted.

The Diamante was sold in America for about 15 years. It didn't sell that poorly.

I think these cars still look futuristic. If it wasnt for the engine blowing head gaskets constantly I would have bought one.

If not for its wedgy exterior

Chicago O'Hare. I'll let everyone else tell stories about why, but it is by far the worst.

Rosanne used to tell a joke: "A woman was arrested for stabbing her husband 37 times. I admire her restraint." Same with this car. THey could have douched it up to the max, but didn't.

Here are pictures of this car in the light of day from a previous seller:
