1984 Ford EXP

Another "sporty" car that never was. Lots of sharp angles, smooth looking surfaces, but the taillights look like they were stolen from a Chrysler Laser.

Still, they did a nice job of integrating the front side marker into the dent strip. The shape of the light blue paint on the front fenders suggests a sleek aerodynamic profile buried under the clunky design.

    This car was outside of one of those little car repair shops. It is on Quebec St, a place called John & Murray Motors. If you look on Google Street View, it is still there, exactly where I found it - or at least it was there when Google went by a year ago.
