Looks like a GXL in everything but headlights..
My Grandfather had the inverse of that (sort of!) maroony-crimson with a cream coloured stripe. I loved that car!

When I were a teenager there was a local lad who had a Vauxhall Ventora painted in full General Lee colours. At the time were were impressed, but looking back it so show doesnt seem so cool.

Theres a Smart W450 in the next village done up in a full Herbie decal set, which to my mind has stretched irony beyond the event horizon.

The 2000E was my first car. Took my driving test in it.

Both probably handled comparably??
The Gran-Torino, though, undoubtedly got into trouble faster?
