A proper car that is.  Gosh I can remember when every big US city I visited had the streets filled with those.

There is a place near Boston that sells restored Checkers.

He now is making new ones under that 500 unit annual limit but they cost a fortune.

Thanks for posting that LM.

I bet an Uber or Lyft driver that could somehow get such a vehicle approved to the ride share companies would get huge tips for the novelty aspect.

The guy manufacturing these, I think is doing the 6 door stretch version, which are popular with resorts and hotels for a shuttle.  The guests love them.
