Good choices but, personally I hate full-size fastbacks and dislike wood on cars not made out of wood. Just personal taste.

Ok, my first and onlychoice will have to be the Tucker. It was a great car but was also part of my family by marriage. My Dads Mom's sister, Loraine Phipps a three time widow, married a three time widower Eddie Offuut. I only meet him once and I didn't about the Tucker. He passed away in 1984 while living in Lee Summit MO. I was stationed in Germany at the time. I wasn't able to get to know him. Eddie was an engineer and test driver for Tucker. There are several books telling the story about he Tucker, one book that I checked out the first 50 pages were about Eddie.
