    Besides the 75 Electra front clip; the excess pinstripes, blue wheels, the emblems, and off-color seats compared to the vinyl on the door panels might be why this one didn't sell. Also the power window switches on driver door relocated to accommodate the speaker.

    Was a pretty high optioned car. Deluxe steering wheel, 455, cornering lights, lamp monitors, and I think I see side mirror thermometer.

    Do like the Electra front end, but how much of this is original at this point?

    I never realized B and C's front ends were interchangeable. So there you go, at least this thing was educational, so to speak.

    Yeah. I don’t think I would want this car. I’d be self conscious every time a saw somebody whispering to their buddy at a car show, while looking my direction.
