Ditto on any Nomad...that '55 looks especially sweet. But yes, very cool and fun. Dunno how sporty tho...neither deliver a lot of performance.

Maybe something on the not fast but funky side? Early 50's Chevy sedan delivery, something like that?
Yeah, I'd love a fastback but those are probably $50k+ in decent condition. Was thinking about the normal body.

Back seat would be weekends only for the next ten years or so. My daughter is nearly three so we've got some time with her being small enough to fit in a small rear seat.

BAT browsing is probably the best idea! Thanks.

She drives an Audi Q5 which she really likes. I actually tried to get her into a Cayenne but she didn't really like them.

Theydrive everybit like a sports cars should, so I hear.
All of the above. I don't want a Honda CRX or something of the like sitting in my driveway, though I'm sure its a ton of fun to drive. Old Mustangs can be modernized to drive better relatively easily.
