Vintage Picture 67-72 with odd bumper and grill.

This picture showed up on one of FB feed. They said it was a GM manufacturing plant. The grill and bumper are very odd. Were these for the Mexico/South American market?

Love the color as well. The grill/bumper has a Nova/Chevelle vibe to me.

Re: Vintage Picture 67-72 with odd bumper and grill.

Something doesn’t look right. Actually a lot of somethings. Photoshop maybe? Or more likely an AI generated image.

It's AI. Proportions are way off, rain gutter above the windshield isn't there......

The hood/front clip length seems short, as well

Re: Vintage Picture 67-72 with odd bumper and grill.

I went back to the source and it says it's AI.

Fooled me for a bit with the detailed background and the man walking away.

For future reference, if you see it on FB then it's probably AI.

Re: Vintage Picture 67-72 with odd bumper and grill.

I really don’t think that GM would install that front plate on the first one either.
