I think trying to get rid of the plainess of the fusie cars, I love the fronts and rears of the fuies cars but from side roofline is the only thing to look at no sport roof no sculpting.
Show off your Formal!

My '78 NYBS. According to info I've found over the past few years, I've read where approximately eight to ten percent of the '78 NYB four-door production were Salons. The fact that I know of maybe a dozen Salons that still exist, probably makes that figure close to reality.
Here is my car with cop wheels and caps, and with the Salon-specific reflective trim rings. One of my cast aluminum turbine appliques needs to have the attachment holes drilled out, so that is why the Salon wheels are not on the car.
There are a couple of places on the car that can stand to be retouched. Most of the car retains its original paint! The hood and trunk lid have been redone at some time in the past.

It's a 440. The engine had been nicely converted from the LeanBurn before I got the car. If you were to look under the hood, you'd never have thought the car had ever had a LB system in it!

I bet the air cleaner lid has a blank plate screwed onto it...
Not obvious on first glance, though. It works for me, and that's all I care about.

I realize now that I like the 4-door formies better that the 2-door ones. On the 2-door models, the section behind the doors is too "massive" for me.
Notwithstanding, the cars shown here are all the most beautiful of its kind.!

This coming from a guy who owns a 1969 two door Imperial......:eusa_whistle:
There is definitely a difference in the bodylines!
The not regtangular quarter window, the higher sidewall, the higher roofline and the streight skirts creating a much bigger area!

That's why I prefer Formal's. LOL!
