Pleasant Original: 1967 Ford Galaxie 500
Good grief, what a great car! This original 1967 Ford Galaxie, on craigslist, lives in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina. Even the name of the town is pleasant. The owner is asking $8,500 firm and the pleasantries end with tire-kickers; they are not welcome.

The Whale: 1986 Pontiac Grand Prix Aerocoupe

Tough L’il Truck: 1998 Daihatsu HiJet 4×4
