I considered one as my first new car. When the salesman showed the feature that the hood could swing 90° up to allow the removal of the motor easier for service later, I politely walked away. That and the poor body panel fit, scary.
Good catch and believe it or not the best selling car in 1980. The motor was the least of the car's problems, at least in its 4 cyl Iron Duke variant, although it was severely underpowered and shook like a big rig diesel. Unbelievable to think they peddled this crap in an era that produced so many bicycles we still covet today.
Maybe those Chiorda-built All Pros would be like owning a Citataion X-11
