Lancia Beta

Lancia Beta HPE, 1975–1984 The most realistic classic buy here for someone who will actually load the back. Lancia combined the Beta Coupe's front end and doors with the longer floorpan of the Beta sedan to make a three-door sporting wagon, and the initials stood first for High Performance Estate and later High Performance Executive. With 73,626 built, far more than most cars on this list, finding one is a matter of patience rather than luck. From 1979 it dropped the Beta name and was sold simply as the H.P.Executive, so expect to see both badges when you shop.
