still wrong on the M question...need to re-read the clues the M series is specific to one of the numbers that is also used for the BMW plus I state it appeared over 35 years ago.....
I will even throw out another clue....
It is a US PRODUCED VEHICLE....
Keep trying.....
kirbanperformance.com
I can see on the map it would be quite a drive from frontenac to Salina...not exactly a straight route....I passed thru Kansas awhile ago from the west coast over route 90 down to I think 29 to 70 east...it was a 9,206 mile road trip......

It doesnt have a power seat or power trunk lock.The exhaust is a pypes system.Everything in my sig is what i have done to it.I think the dash reads buick and then regal under it.I have done a carfax and it came up clean,but i know it was broken into and maybe it was stloen at on point.The door lock was pryed out and the metal around it is still bent.I am planing on stripping the car to bare metal and repainting it but i havnt had the time.Its a very solid car but needed alot of work,and still does.So far i rebuilt the motor and trans,put the exhaust on,wheels and tires made it drivable.Paint and interior next.Thanks for all your help,i wish the darn trunk sticker was there so i know more about it,but i guess dont matter what its still a turbo regal and its a hell of alot of fun to drive.

The only issue you may have regarding the trunk ID label....is if you decide to sell it. Like you stated someone may have stolen it at one time...if so that is one thing a thief does is remove that label sometimes since it has the VIN number on it. So car does have the 17 digit vin up by the windshield?
a hardtop is a desireable feature.
keep at it....those designer series paint schemes look great with the 16 by 8 style gnx rims.

Bumping contest to current page.
Vehicle was made in the USA.
To end confusion you are seeking a M model that is based on one of the exact same M codes listed in the BMW blurb I posted above.
the clock continues to tick....
kirban
As mentioned before the Puegot 505 series.
And the M series your looking for is a Studebaker M series truck. Made from 1941-1948. Attached a pic I found for reference.

In a round about way you are correct....answer I was seeking was the truck M5 which that wagon is based on...
send me pm with your address again and list what you have won in the past.
On a side note of interest concerning Studebaker trucks back then M5 I had a 1/2 ton and a 1 1/2 ton version
Studebaker was really ahead of the game back then. Those M5 trucks had interchangeable front and rear fenders. Also the front bumper was exactly the same as the rear bumper. The bed was steel not wood. Member this is 1947.
Pretty advanced for the time period....
New trivia coming soon.

Well, heres possible answers for the new question.
XT: 1968 XT Falcon GT
GS: 1965-69 Buick Skylark GS
GS: 1965-1975 Buick Riviera GS
GT:1968–1976 Dodge Dart GT
Not to sure on the GT, just because it could have such a wide variety of answers from what I listed above to 1966–1969 Ford Fairlane GT, 1968–1974 Ford Torino GT.
Probably not going to get due to the excess in answers but...worth a shot.
Hope I didnt spoil it.
Thanks again,
JD
