Reagan's Favorite Brat

No, I'm not talking about Patti.  
  
I ran across this little franken-post hybridizing of Reagan and automotive history at Jalopnik.com.   

If you ever wondered what the Gipper drove around in at the ranch, this bit of oddball history is for you.

We never see pictures of Reagan in the Brat, because he handlers were worried that would be impolitic at a time when (to use Preston's terminology), "Japanese automakers were mopping Detroit's detritus from the factory floor."
