Its a '69, pure and simple. The upper limit is 1969, last year of the long hood (non-DOT bumper) four cylinder cars. The lower limit is also 1969, the first year of the long wheelbase cars.

Whoopsie - I was so offended I was seeing double! Sorry!

So you end up with a French car nobody have even heard of and a French parts warehouse for the same - thats better than two Renaults any…

Maximum wagon?

Talk about Fantasy Garage!

You need a brick. A red brick, AKA Volvo 303:

Hey, anybody else notice the Ford Fairmont Futura back behind the Desoto? Looks to be in pretty good shape: perfect mailaise, but not PCH :(.
