It does, doesn't it.
But that's not what it is!
Not millions of miles away, though.

I think it would be a design exercise for a 1971 Ford XL fastback, which they didn't make...

Aha - Mercury is right!
But 1969 is wrong.
So, which model and when?
It's locked for you.

Why do you have 0 points by the way? What happened to the handful you had?!

Well, 1972 is right but Marauder is not.
But this puzzle is locked for Ultra so you should wait until I unlock it before you reply!
Will see what Ultra answers before you or I say anything else!
