Why executives at Fiat decided to sell it is anyone’s guess. It look’s like it has a brow ridge, like some ancient ancestor of current cars. ---

Number 1: Aztec. Numbers 2 and 3: Cube and Juke. Nissan must’ve stolen their designers from Pontiac. ---

My dad was a big enough VW nut in the early '70s that he’d receive parts catalogs. Included among the usual VW parts were conversion parts to resemble RR and at least one other high-end make. ---
