The dual hood releases and starter under the gas pedal on this car are not unique but unusual enough to be conversation items. If you have the Electromatic Clutch I have usually seen owners leave it off. The only weak spot I know of is the column shifter's tendency to slip out of gear if worn.
There are three front bumper styles in the 22nd series - you have the middle one. "Open mouth" with chromed center sections.

From a vehicle dynamics, SUV/CUV is worse than a station wagon because of the higher center of gravity.
Convertibles, hatchbacks, coupes still exist, but they are few.

I think you'll need to use Ebay, main market is model trains. They made multiple body styles - convt, 2 dr, 4 dr, lwb. They are of course unfinished but the only assembly required is to put the wheels on.

Does anyone have pictures and/or measurements of the flexible rubber skirts that extend from the lower edge of the inner fenders? Mine departed long before my ownership and i want to make new ones.

The gap and broken base are for an "l'."
Garage de l'Est is an awfully generic name.
