Ignatius Approved: 1969 Subaru Sambar

People are always stopping me on the street and asking “What kind of car would Ignatius Reilly drive?” I’m never quite sure how to answer this question, but if I recall in the Confederacy of Dunces, it was his mother that crashed an old Plymouth into a building and that launches Ignatius need to find a job at various places including the Paradise Vendors hot dog cart. Logic would dictate that this is the car Ignatius would drive. Find this 1969 Subaru Sambar offered for $12,500 in Poestenkill, NY via craigslist. Tip from Cory.

The seller has been smoking too many foot longs!
Woof!
12″ of paradise! Would not be out of place in the French Quarter.
I see no downside to this other than the absurd price.
Only one very skilled in theology and geometry could imagine a way to fit Ignatius Reilly in the driver’s seat of that, though. I kind of think a Volvo PV544 would be a better fit for him – both literally and in character. He would probably prefer a car that looked like it was built in the previous century, but at least the PV544 looks like it’s from a few decades ago. And even somebody as lazy as Ignatius could probably keep it on the road. Plus, it predates the trend of Volvos going to academics who wouldn’t make it outside of a college environment!
