In 1983, my wife and I took our twins to Florida for about three and a half weeks as way of congratulating them for exceeding their expected exam results to get into the schools of their choice. I had booked a station wagon from Alamo to be picked up at Orlando, but it wasn't there on arrival. In fact, they only had a compact, which I foolishly accepted just so that we could get to the hotel on Internation Drive, leaving half the luggage at the rental place.
The following morning I went back to the airport where they exchanged the compact for a fairly new station wagon and took the rest of the luggage. After a few days the air-con packed up, so back to Alamo to swap again. The second one also had a failure so had to go back.
Then they handed me the keys to a station wagon similar to the one pictured, but with full wood external trim around all the windows; what a monster, but far superior to anything else they had given us.
