Unfortunately I don't have an eco car but my very first car was a 1967 2 door Plymouth Satellite, kinda of a coppery gold color. I loved that car. It had a 318 engine and a torque flight in the floor automatic transmission. Heavy duty shocks leaf springs so she sat up high - we called her the "Amphicar". Her Minnesota license was 2UC 318, which I said meant "2 barrel carbeurator (you see) and a 318 engine" which is why I remember it. She died a slow death in California.
My next car was a 1959 Morris Minor 1000 with a "home-made" sunroof which never went above 45 mph. Then I had a wonderful 43 mpg 1970 Honda 600 sedan. Great on gas mileage, terrible on space! I wish I still had the old 600 - I think she'd make a great eco car!
