If you can get over "the nose" on this, its a nice car.

 

I never could warm up to the nose on these, but agreed, these are nice and generally very overlooked cars. I bet those seats are comfy!

 

Did not like this front end either but compared to the schnoz on some modern BMWs it is quite attractive.

 

Yeah, those new ones sure do put the "BM" in BMW. lol

 

I just don't get all these new cars with HUGE grilles.

 

That, and they all look so aggressive and angry.

 

Nice example.

The power window option was not seen real often on the Matador.

 

Wow $7gs. You could get a pretty nice LTD or Caprice for that doe. They were throwing everything at the wall by then.

 

Yeah, but they weren't called the "Kenosha Kadillac" for nothing Bill.

 

Yeah, but you wouldn't get such a sweet nose like that on any of those.

 

Sold for $10,000 on 9/5/22

 

That was well bought IMO, but I still could not get over the nose, if it were a 2-door version I would be tempted, even with the odd looking vinyl roofs those had.

 

Proof that some rooflines should not be subjected to a vinyl roof.
