This ’76 El Deora appears to be a dealer kit from the peak of hideous Detroit gaudiness. This reminds us of the pimp-mobile(see last image) in that bad ’70s James Bond film with all the AMC products. Modern hipsters are sure to love this.
This is a great ad quote: “at one point the gentlemen was backing out of his garage & wasn’t in his prime at the time. he had a little greek statue in his drive way “he backed into it he was 85+ years old when he placed a dent on the passenger rear panel”
Of course the person who bought this has a greek statue in his driveway.

70s JC Whitney buyers must have gotten ideas from this car. It has it all!
