Nissan Figaro
The Nissan Figaro is a two-seat retro convertible made by Nissan in Japan from 1991 to 1992. Its weirdest quirk: Buyers had to win a lottery to get one, and the paint colors each represent a season of the year.
A turbocharged little convertible from Nissan's Pike Factory, styled like a 1960s European roadster. So many people wanted one that Nissan had to run a lottery.
