When you think "celebrity-owned wheels," what comes to mind?

Porsche, of course.

Rolls, perhaps?

Maserati? Bentley? Bugatti?

At any rate, chances are pretty good that "LeBaron" is pretty far down the list -- if it shows up at all. Sure, the old Chrysler had a pretty good run of it, morphing through various guises and conceits from the late 1950s through the mid-1990s, but what self-respecting star would be caught dead in one? Can you picture, say, Slash driving down Sunset in a LeBaron? Maybe -- if the car ran on Jim Beam and dope fumes.

And how about Jay Z? Or George Clooney? Or Tom Hanks?  (Actually, yeah, we can see Hanks in a LeBaron. He probably owns two.)

Anyway, the point is, one of the most self-respecting stars to ever light up the firmament, the Chairman of the Board, The Voice, Frank Sinatra himself owned a 1985 LeBaron (a gift from his wife, Barbara), and now Auto Trader in the UK is selling the old tank for a mere 20 grand. (Pounds, not dollars.)

The pitch on the site is pretty hard to resist:

"Powered by a 2.2-litre engine, the LeBaron produces 146bhp and 168 lb/ft of pulling power. The fully-loaded model boasts a leather interior, all-round electric windows, cruise control and has covered 77,777 miles."

Whew! Doors, prepare to get blown in.

We're skeptical of those five sevens in a row on the odomoter, though -- it sounds far too Vegas-y to be true -- but then again, Frank and his Rat Pack did rule the Strip for more than a few years back in the day.

Come to think of it, maybe the LeBaron was the perfect car for Ol' Blue Eyes. After all, it takes a man of supreme self-confidence to at once embody a unique kind of rough, Jersey-born soulfulness and at the same time happily drive around in a white LeBaron wagon (an automatic LeBaron wagon).

We couldn't do it. But that's just one more of a million reasons why we aren't, and never could be, Frank. The guy could make complete crap look utterly cool.
