    This looks too nice to be homemade; maybe a factory-built flower car? I'd drive it; it's cool.

    Ooh, IIRC, a Buick with four portholes had the straight-eight engine. Very torquey.

    Not bad, most of the custom conversions ruin it with odd looking rear posts and window that doesn't fit the body lines.
    The granada ranchero was not too bad. The lincoln marks 77-79 had the right roof - pillar lines but those oval shaped rear windows ruined it.

    There were a few without opera windows. But, if one didn't have any, it was a rare car, indeed.

    Me neither! Usually, a car-based wrecker has a fixed boom unit. But apparently, this did also get used as a pickup.
