Yes, thanks for posting. And Lloyd, my thoughts exactly...(see also, Plymouth Valiant 1964-ish) I don't think the Rambler had the same incredible transition line from the mean eyebrow back to the side vent, then below for the line to the rear. Giugiaro did some incredibly creative things.

One interesting feature is the pop-out rear quarter windows, similar to that employed on the Type 114/'02. Most CSL's may have had fixed lighter plex windows. However, I recall seeing a right hand CSL with that pop-out feature and wondered why I never saw other examples.

I tend to drive with the windows all up or all down because of wind noise and a limited fondness for air conditioning. The pop out feature makes sense in that regard, especially if it is controllable from the driver's seat. On my 02s, I was generally too lazy to open or close the rear side windows; however, ambient heat, inclement weather or passenger perfume, can be major motivators.

And of course, a comparison with Mopar front end madness.
