The wheelhousing intrusion would be ridiculous on this thing.

It looks more like raising low profile four door faux coupe roofs with unpropotionally tall bodysides. 

Eeeeee-lon should try this for holding the rear bumpers on his Teslas...

No pink Cimarrons?😂😂😂

The unibody Fairlane was most common to Falcon from 1966-1970. Fairlane and Falcon even shared wagon and Ranchero body shells. Fairlane was essentially a longer Falcon. 8

Torino/Montego were originally uplevel versions of the Fairlane/Comet series. Both the Fairlane and Falcon nameplates ended after the 1970 model

The mid-60s updated Falcon platform underpinned nearly as many cars.

Ford:
Falcon (60-70½)
Fairlane (66-70)
Mustang (65-73)
Torino (68-71)
Maverick (69-77)
Granada (75-80)

Mercury:
Comet (60-77)
Cougar (67-73)
Montego (68-71)
Cyclone (64-71)
Monarch (75-80)

Lincoln Versailles (77-80)

And here are the Fox cars:

Susan was a divorced mother trying to make it on her own driving an old damned rusted out Civic wishing instead she had a 1977 Pontiac Grand Prix to drive to the disco. She always resented that brat!

Toyota has an ad on Instagram that says “snag yourself a new Camry”. I replied that I would like to snag one on a high curb so I could rip that predator-faced front bumper cover off...

My favorite GM concept of the 70s

Correct. AMC had the only compact station wagon during the 1970s until the 1976 Dodge Aspen/Plymouth Volaré wagon showed up. For 1978, Ford got the Fairmont wagon and GM got their downsized A-body intermediates. The Hornet wagon has a sportback rear roofline that looks better on the Seville than the boxy upright

 I can confirm that about the Fiatslyer Promasturbator work van I have to drive on occasion.

I want to hate this but I can’t the conversion was done so seamlessly that it looks factory.

This reminds me of a 1977 Cadillac Seville wagon that was custom built for the wife of the owner of Hoff Cadillac in Virginia Beach who was a client of my grandparent’s hairstyling business. My grandmother snapped the photos

The Catera was nothing but a pedestrian badge engineered Opel which was nothing more than the Chevrolet of Europe. Cadillac somehow thought badge engineering another non-luxury car was better than badge engineering another Cavalier.

They tried to hide contraband in the bumpers but they kept falling off...

With computerized robotics doing welds it’s entirely possible to have a glitch and have a few mistakes slip by. I can’t fault Subaru as if it’s incompetence or neglect. They are doing the right thing to make it right and not trying to cover it up. These type of mistakes can happen to any industry. Nothing is perfect.

“Looks like a gangster’s car”? It looks like a car from the 1930s. Now think about what gangsters drive today... Any car can be a gangster's car.

That’s a Tudor sedan, not a coupe.

Let’s see. By 1989, GM had discontinued its archaic body on frame RWD G-body Monte Carlo, Grand Prix, Cutlass Supreme and Regal and replaced them with underwhelming new W-body front wheel drive cars. The Monte Carlo was dead replaced by the Lumina. Meanwhile over at Chrysler, everything they had was FWD. So tell me
