Being partial to the Executive's styling, it is a junior with the best of both senior and junior styles. The front end body from the seniors and stylishly flared taillights of the juniors. Although it also has the 5" shorter chassis, the 352 vice 374 V8, and less desireable instrument gauges.

I don't think that the Executive was that much cheaper than the Pats, 400's or Caribs. As compared to the Buicks and Chevys of the day. They were still almost a year's family income for somebody to buy.
