It's a design classic, it just needs converting to electric
Great pick!
The Twingo was very polarising at Renault in its day. It was a fresh air through the make's boring boxy designs of the day and it can be had with a fully opening roof (not a convertible).
They may well give off the same vibe in 20 years as the 2cv does today. A more modern body and suspension with a happy face but less impressive history. They are not considered memorable today but I wouldn't mind seeing them around on oldtimer shows.
Given the tiny engine, I suspect fuel consumption will be ok and it may thus be converted a few years down the line when it is cheaper.
Dacias, cause they have the least amount of electronics that's legally allowed.
Good news!

I think that the panther body ford/mercury/Lincoln could become more desirable in the future. They're the last body on frame American v8 cars. They're seen as a disposable car. It's popular to frame swap onto an f100 and use them for demolition derbies. They'll become exceedingly rare in the next ten years. There's a special model called the mercury marauder.

I still have mine from college years. That thing will just not give up, but I love having a car paid off for as long as I can go.
I wish I still had mine. Just a smooth af car to drive.
Challenger. Dodge stopped making them after the 2023 model. They are reliable and just keep rising in value. People hold on to these cars.
I bought a used 2019 with 14k miles on it. Now it has close to 80k and it's worth $6000 more than I paid for it.
Honda Element. Unique styling, good utility.
