Glad you like it BH and great observations about the Riv. Notice how Seville and Continental picked up the decklid in the early 80s. Wonder if Ex really did light a fire in the design community and it just took a few years for the old guard at GM and Ford, who didn't invent these ideas, to leave and clear the way for them to be implemented. That's cynical, shouldn't think that way. And Ford did pick up the idea with the Mk III although maybe such a design was being bantered about in the design community and Ex simply went with it like everyone else. Jr. would know.
Was thinking about Packard and AMC in those years and how AMC might have finally concluded, once Romney was gone, that a kinship might not be a bad thing afterall. Ambassador went to a longer hood in '69. Here's how the Packard might have looked. Wheelbase is shortened since it is a coupe.
