     This has been kicking around my mind for a while now, but with the sudden
demise(again!) of my 1970 Toyota today, I'm thinking more seriously of getting
another car.

     I may do so if my tax return is large enough.  The model years under
consideration are the early 1970's, the makes are Volvo, Saab, Ford(small), and
Chrysler(small).  The price range may be approx $1500(California).

     The primary considerations are:

	0.  Good fuel economy.
	1.  Reliable.
	2.  Easy to maintain.
	3.  Roomy enough interior for two people to take an extended trip
	    without going crazy.
	4.  Inexpensive purchase price.

     I realize that #4 sort of rules out Volvo/Saab, but I've heard good things
about them; that's why they are there.  Needless to say, I'm not overly
impressed with Japanese cars at this point.  Would the person who said that
"Toyotas are noted for reliability/economy" please tell that to my car(:-)?
