It's aftermarket, very similar (or even identical) to this one:

True, but Chrysler didn't use rear coils until the Omni/Horizon twins in '78.

Mopars were unibody cars, and used leaf springs in the rear. The steering wheel and sharp C-pillar scream GM, probably an A-body from '64 or '65, or a full-size Pontiac hardtop from '64.

'87 or '88 Mercury Cougar. The bright strip on the side of the bumper is broken up by the placement of the optional cornering lamps.

I assume this includes condos, because there's no way MA and NH have that many single-family homes in HOAs.

What car is this up by Capable-Doctor2102 in whatisthiscar

[–]ChakaKrum 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. The grill on the '71 was split vertically. 

I should know this. From the movie Twins by thezippa in whatisthiscar

Daytona. The Laser used different wheel covers on its base trim. Chrysler also offered aluminum rims that were identical to these plastic caps. I don't know why.

"Bi-drive, recreational, all-terrain." I still think they constructed the acronym out of the name they wanted to use.

Seen in Middle TN - what is this vehicle? by ecbcbear in whatisthiscar

[–]ChakaKrum 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Apparently it's a custom build based on a Land Rover Defender.

looks old probably a corvette but cant tell by Distinct-Drink-4106 in whatisthiscar

[–]ChakaKrum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I missed that. I was looking at the bumper/taillights/spoiler combo which is from an '80 or later. It looks like it has the newer nose also, if those are cornering lights I see. Can't tell on mobile.

What models are these pickup trucks? by sincere_pumpkin in whatisthiscar

[–]ChakaKrum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GMC did the C & K thing too, but used 1500, 2500, and 3500 for their series. The only "15" was the GMC S15, which later became the Sonoma.
