I never heard of it before today either, but it was a U.S. model/trim and those were the nameplates on the fenders : http://www.caaarguide.com/sub1/id455.html http://www.lov2xlr8.no/brochures/chevy/77v6.html

^ I think that's right. Pontiac started jumbling things up in the '80s, I haven't committed to memory what they did exactly. More than 1 brand used the same names on multiple series' wagons (the Dodge Sierra above is one). Others (like Chevy) liked to toss in a bunch of names.
-
^ I saw something that said the Pontiac 6000 wagon was known as a Safari, but I didn't look for confirmation. That's fairly unusual, as that means the 2 overlapped in existence (like the Sevilles). The '76-whenever Seville becomes the triplet in that name series, too.

^ Yea- don't worry about 'fraternal' - or you can just look at it as 'fraternal siblings in the automotive world'. Actually, I'm not sure how this one is much/any different than 'only the name's the same'...

Something I haven't seen in well over a decade; a '67-ish T-Bird coupe, dark brown, completely stock, show condition, rolling. '75-76. Looked decent but had horrific quality issues (time & owner workmanship) :

1934 Studebaker Land Cruiser: 1954 toyota land cruiser: 1957 Merc Turnpike Cruiser: 1963 Studebaker Cruiser: 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser: 2008 Chevrolet Cruze:'65 Sting Ray, side pipes, silver, looked excellent, parked at gas station.Got this in my wanderings. Aside from the minor dog-ear in the lower right corner, it's a mint book. 96 pages, see the pic for the table of contents to see what the book covers. Asking $5.00 plus 2.00 shipping. Will let this ride here first for 2 weeks or so, then off to eBay. Side note: anyone remember the GMC Desert Fox ?? :Saw a F'ing gorgeous '64 Grand Prix, minty-mint, Marimba Red w/ 8-lugs. I wanted to pull a 180 and chase it down (I did see what side street it went down). Later, this made a few passes up & down my street: '67 Chevelle SS, open headers. Sounds great, but didn't move out as well as the sound would lead one to believe (still left a cloud of burnt rubber).daimler has made billions off of rentals / fleet sales; it's the hallmark of a great company!
