In college I had a 1959 Rambler two-door wagon. The front and rear bumper were identical. The doors weren't but they had an extruded window frame, kind of like a VW Type II, that were.
The carburetor bolted directly to the flat head, no intake manifold. The exhaust pipe clamped to the side of the block, no exhaust manifold.
There were prolly other steps I didn't notice to keep the parts count down.

Technical characteristics
The Ami has a symmetry between its right and left sides. In order to save on the production of bodywork parts by limiting their numbers, these are the same on each profile or as the front bumper is the same as the rear bumper. Thus it benefits from doors with opposite openings, classic for the passenger and antagonistic for the driver, the doors being identical with the hinges on the same side.... There are no other doors, making the storage spaces accessible only from the two side doors.

Accessory dashboard undertray, just like the VW Beetle.

1970s Celica coupe (ratted and cool looking)
Roll Cage, side pipe, suspension mods for racing, and the interesting molder and tinted clear plastic piece on the fron that masks the headlights. How is this thing legal? Totally fun looking rat rod.

I like finding old beatup eco cars. Really rather see this then a new corvette. Replacement unpainted fender, racing wheels I like this one.

I have never seen a 2nd-gen Accent hatchback, only 2 sedans. A white one in my hometown and a green one (which I was not able to take pictures) near my mother's neighborhood.

15 degrees Celsius in Porto Alegre right now. Not that hot?
It is as far south as South Africa or the south of Australia, and it is mid-winter there.

Don't get fooled by the sun shining. It's winter here right now. And a short-haired dog like Vanessa is more sensitive to cold weather. |

It looks like what Mad Max would drive if he had a long commute.
