I used to work at a garage so I don't remember them all so I'll limit to own personal vehicles and one select vehicle from the garage;

My own
1976 Granada - it was even rotted on the tops of the fenders
1977 Newport - another rot box, rear springs were so bad the bumper practically dragged the ground

Else
At the garage mentioned above we had a car wash. There was a lady who was afraid to go through it so she would ask one of us to drive it through. It's was a mid 80s Nova (the little front drive 4 cylinders). I will NEVER EVER forget the smell inside that car. I will also NEVER EVER be able to identify it. It was like a combination of every single body odor you can think of all rolled into one. To this day, I've never smelled anything like it.

Suffice to say, I only drove it through once. I thought about rolling down the windows. After that one time, I would literally disappear when I saw her car approaching. There was usually some new guy or someone not paying attention that would get stuck with her. Uhh, I'm reliving the smell right now. And this was 15-20 years ago.
