    I had a 78 or 79 AMC Concorde. It wasn’t an inherently bad car, but wasn’t kept up before I bought it for $400 in ‘91.
    Rust holes on the fenders and doors. Couldn’t open the driver door for fear it would fall off, the hinges were rusted so bad. There were a couple of rust hole through the floor boards too. I found that out when stuff went missing.
    The gas gauge didn’t work of course, so ran out at least twice. There was also exposed metal on the steering wheel where if you honked the horn you might get shocked. And to top it off, it had a bad alignment and ate front tires like candy.
    I was a young E-2 with little money and one of the only cars in the barracks, so at the time I thought it was the greatest thing ever.

    These have been found on Alibaba, so I doubt a lot of research and development and care for the optics has been put into these. Nothing is going to be OEM for optics other then a proper retro fit.

    Considering that the stealership once quoted me $390 EACH for OEM headlights, that’s not too bad if the quality can be verified...

    It’s called a “shooting brake”, and that’s not a real Rolls, that’s a BMW in drag...
