Well, you could always put a Jeep CJ7 grill with headlights on the front, held on with clothesline...and then just put the nose replacement on the back burner...

For some unknown reason, I always liked those cars from the time they were introduced, maybe because of all the glass. They were something different than what was around in those days. Might be kind of fun to drive.
I was probably in the minority, as they probably didn't sell that well and Rambler didn't last much longer.

Without looking it up, I remember there was a red VW Beetle on the top, a silver BMW 320i (?) under it, there was a 78-80 Pontiac Grand Prix in there, a beige Ford LTD coupe up there from around 1979-81, a black Grand Marquis from the same vintage that was a 4 door, a blue 4 door early 80s Mercury Lynx (Ford Escort), and I want to say there was another one on there too like a Pinto or something along those lines? Or one of those European Ford Capris?
That was called the Spindle, and it was in Berwin (?) IL... in the parking lot of some mall. They knocked it down a couple years ago to put up a Walgreens, then built the building nowhere near where the damned monument of cars was. Thousands of people showed up protesting the razing of it and they did it anyway. They saved the top two cars, VW and BMW, and left all the other ones on it. Then they knocked it over, and used a claw to rip the cars to shreds. Idiots.

2002. It belonged to the shopping center owner and bore his name, DAVE, on its license plate.
