You know, that's kind of cool. You'd definitely never have trouble finding it in a parking lot, even at an SDC meet

Those little Malibu wagons were darn decent cars, too, for a Brand X.

The workmanship seems to be pretty good. It has a sort of Buck Rogers look to it, with the combination of the bullet nose and the "rocket" tail lights. Looks like it came out of a Bugsport cartoon, speaking of which, what's become of them?

The only styling feature that I really dislike is the shape of the hood opening. I'd have tried to taper it forward to avoid those tranverse gaps on the tops of the front fenders. I know that would have been tough, but I think it would have been worth the effort, in that it would have made the entire car look more integrated.

Still, if that car were close to me, I'd be tempted to bid on it, just for fun.

Especially the tail lights in the side of the rear fenders are really funny!
