    That sure is a lot of beige and with GMs plastics losing their color at different rates there must be 10 different beige tones in the interior. Having said my snarky comment for the day, I imagine more than a few people would love to have this MC in their garage even if they cannot add miles without wincing.

    I've always f0und it interesting how similar the front of this car is to the Chrysler Cordoba at that time. I know that they are not anywhere near identical, but both feature the stacked, rectangular headlights with the pronounced "brow" surrounding them, the fender on each side extending forward of the headlights, and the large, rectangular grille.

    Thats only a couple of more tones then it would have had new, the interior plastic's never did match very well. I thnks it is not only different dye batch's, but sourced from different subcontractor's, and different materials they were made from. Some of them fade to a horrible buzzard puke green over time.

    Nice car, But I would have to swap out the steering wheel to one of the options above the base 2-spoke wheel. Always disliked looking at them.
