    that 4dr frontend really looks like an AMC
    the 2dr frontend looks like the early 70's dodge colt

    The side scoop on the 4-dr reminds of some 70's era Japanese car but I can't figure out which one. I thought it was a Celica but no pics I have found show them on a 70's Celica ....

    It does have the Japanese look and the first car that came to mind was the Datsun 510. This is the first time I ever see the the prototypes!

    It would be great to be able to talk with some of the people that were involved with the creation of the Maverick.

    The backseat side windows on the 2 door makes me think Nova.
    Cool to see the concept cars though!

    design

    I think the side windows on the two door look like a Pinto. And the lower character line looks like a '70 Torino. The body side styling on the 4 door reminds me of the early Mercury Capri.

    Ahhh - that's it - a Capri ... The 4-door is almost identical to the Capri ...

    Here is another. There are more, but they look more like Pintos, so I won't post them..... :)
