When there is no crease, it means that rust repair was likely done in that area. Likely a patch was was welded in and the body shop did not recreate the line. Usually, this is most evident in the space between the front wheel well and the door. Rust in this area is common. It could also mean that during a previous paint job, a body guy got too enthusiastic with his sander or filler or both and basically blended away the line.
I will take a picture of my car in better light to show that the crease is there. From the picture of the white coupe, it looks like the best angle is head on and with direct sunlight.
Cool picture of the beast that lies underneath! Please see Coupe King's website for some photos of the engine and engine bay clean up done years ago: http://www.coupeking.com/listings/sienna-cs-engine-bay-detail/
Engine bay still shines better than new and the engine keeps purring (it should, I've put less than 5000 miles on it in 7 years).

Please note that the rust in pictures 10 and 11 were described by Erik Sliskovich at Coupe King as surface and likely caused by water being trapped underneath the sound deadening material on that side. It was not rusting from the inside out. I elected to not replace the sound deadening material for this reason and while this means the car is louder in the cabin, I do have peace of mine that no water is getting trapped in there.
Very nice!
Has no distributor?
Pic #2, is that hole in the firewall supposed to be there?
Interior/trunk pics?

Correct on no distributor. Wasted Spark
Hole in firewall was to accommodate ITB setup I mentioned Dynotech tried to install. Hole is still there (not structural); provides more cooling air for the engine I guess; this coupe never heats above '4 o'clock' on the temperature gauge even in Coastal NC in the summer.
Meant to say hole in firewall was to accommodate MSII engine management which is located in glove compartment.
There is a hole in the bulkhead (?) that was created to accommodate the air intake for an ITB setup.
