Our first "2nd car" when I was growing up was a Renault Dauphine, it was light blue, and this was probably 1965 or so give or take a year. I don't remember it real well because I was pretty young, but I remember we had a one car garage and the Dauphine was parked on the patio. My dad went for the quirky cars, not sure if he had a taste for the quirky, or he simply bought them because they were cheap, the 2nd cars also consisted of a couple VWs, a Renault 10 (which my father loved, and looking at the specs it looks like a pretty good car for the day) and a Mazda RX2, which he also liked very well when it ran right, but it often ran rough and I was a little older when he had the Mazda and remember he had to take it back for service quite often, he might have even gotten a new engine under warranty once.
