I prefer the sedan, but I love the "Mocha Chocolate" color scheme on this thing.  :lol:  :mrcool:

Still, a good-looking car. Wouldn't mind having one with the slant-6: better gas mileage.  :lol:

Just looking at this thing, I want to do the Hustle!   :rockon:

God, who misses the '70s here?  :praise:

Crush it, send the scrap to China so they can add lead and make baby formula cans out of it and send it back here. Welcome to the 21st century!  :lol:

I can only assume this car was so bad, Ricardo Montalban didn't want to have his name attached to it.  So cue Italian-born Las Vegas lounge lizard Sergio Franchi.  Middle America probably didn't even notice the change of pitchmen in the TV ads since "All those Latin-types look the same, anyway."   :lol:

That Volare coupe does look pretty sweet in that color trim. It's a good-looking car IMO.  :mrcool:
