Is it me, or is that car a squatting a bit? It’s certainly patriotic.

 

I'm not a big fan of the colors, but I do like the two tone look. I don't understand why they didn't carry the white from the roof down the A-pillars. From the pictures it kind of has that "painted with a mop" look to it.

 

Yeah not a very clear reflection in the paint.

 

It just seems like the front bumper has been tucked back.....

 

I was trying to figure the front bumper as well. Perhaps from a different car? A Malibu? I seem to recall these Poncho's having color-keyed bumpers originally.

Think you’re spot on SavoyPlaza. I didn’t remember seeing a ‘79 LeMans that didn’t have the color keyed bumper with the chrome strip. As Hillary says it take a village. You can look at a car like this, know somethings wrong, but eventually somebody figures it out. Still say it also looks low to me as well.

 

Looks like a 1/2” nap Wooster poly blend 9” roller sleeve to me. They forgot to mask the fender badges too.

 

Also the more I look at it. I think they ran out of Sherwin Williams patriot blue eggshell paint. The right side of the hood looks unfinished. Nice seem right down the middle. Other than the badges it looks like they color in the lines.

 

I think that is just a funky glare from the sun. In the other pictures in the ad the hood is all one color.
