Most look to be past it, shame really. Someone would kill to get hold of that Hillman convertible.

"vintage Honda Civics"
NEVER, EVER, NEVER, did I think I'd EVER see or hear that in my lifetime. Some petty oddball stuff for an American.

You're forgetting that most Yanks think a 5yo car is out of date and 10yo's are scrap material, the first Civics are nudging 40 now remember.

That Citroen SM would be worth a few bucks, it would be even more rare being US spec.

I've always had a thing for the Renault Dauphine. 5th bottom photo.
They were pretty cool. Folk I know who owned them back in the day really liked them.

Remember the old small rear engined Renault from the 50s with the louvres in the boot lid! There was one of those racing at Forest Lake in Hamilton when the original production car class was introduced at stock car meetings. I'm pretty sure it was running a Dauphine engine and it used to clean up all sorts of competition until a light tap from a Valiant in the middle of a corner sent it end over end about fifteen times and it just flew apart a bit more with every bounce. It never came back from that.

I do remember those. Sort of like Renaults' answer to the Fiat 500. And about as powerful. Wonder how many there are left! Sometimes the French engineering was pretty good. The old Simca Aronde seemed to be unusually solid, and rust resistant. My Mum had one. (Didn't handle so well in the wet, though.)
I agree with franc123, the Citroen SM would be my pick too!
