Curbside Classic Clue

Sorry about the small photo, but I’m desperate to slow you guys down. The winner of the Celica Clue was tklockau, who’s guess of a “small bumper (pre-Fed bumper) Celica was close enough, since it appears that the same grille was used through the ’74 models.

That mesh just screams "super-high build quality."

  Build quality, as compared to what other 1977 vintage vehicle?

  The early Hondas lasted about five years in the rust belt.

I knew it was a "Smokey & the Bandit" model Trans AM ('77) the second I saw it. About 12 other guys, however, saw it before me.

Calm down guys. A Super Duty 455 uses the vents too. The car may have been repainted And the google investigation I did doesn't show the same grille.
