Out went the 68-72 GM Mid Sized Coupes; Bye bye to the Nova and their clones; So long to the full sized Fords and…

I freaking don’t believe it! This lowly olelongrooffan stumped the band and all of my fellow Hoons! Even my fellow Floridian…tonyola…I didn’t think that was possible… You guys can identify an Alfa Romero Mustang knock off and a March Hare but a simple Opel was beyond our reach.

Ironically enough, last evening while having a good discussion with my blue friend, Skye, I thought I would do a mystery car post for Fastback Friday.
