Think of all the greasy fumes that stuff has absorbed. . .

Even the oven is horrified.

Used to see a lot of that. Assuming they were also used here, the 4" x 10" speakers GM was notorious for using on the rear deck in that era were terrible and aftermarket replacements weren’t much better.

I thought it looked kind of like an air vent, which seems unlikely to be true, but then again, this whole car seems unlikely. 

Switzerland 🇨🇭 being trilingual, it could also be a Herr Fusion or a Signore Fusione !

Why would anyone do that to a 2nd gen? The only viable way to use that back seat is sitting sideways in the first place.

Wow that is as bad as Trump’s penthouse

You could be onto something here, albeit for entirely different reasons.

This car could be powered by wood pellets. An old American car like this would be hellishly expensive on taxes both to the car and fuel. But not if it didn’t use gasoline...
