But if you look at the taillights in the ad, I simply don't think it's an American. The front of the car definitely does look like an American, but the back looks slightly different. dsws - To tell you the truth, I didn't pay any attention to the controversy. I was distracted by the Ramblers. :-) -CW Chris1962 -

Also, see how the front bumper wraps around to the side and has a little ridge above it? You can see that on your pic of the red one. There <i>does</i> seem to be some more space (in this pic) between the door handles and side strip, though.
