I never thought I’d ever find an Oleg Cassini Edition AMC Matador in the junkyard. Oh, sure, I’ve seen Givenchy Continentals, Mark Cross New Yorkers, a couple of Etienne Aigner VW Golfs, even a Levis Gremlin… but even with all I’ve written about the Oleg Cassini Matador I’d given up hope of actually seeing one on its way to The Crusher. That changed yesterday.
I wondered what emblem might have lived on the fender. Could it be…?
Yes! The Cassini crest is still visible on the seat backs. Such luxury!
Nice factory AM radio still in the dash. Probably totally worthless, but still a cool find.
I’m tempted to pull the clock, for my collection of 50+ car clocks, but there’s no way a 37-year-old American car clock will still work.
I think the mid-70s Matador coupes are pretty good-looking cars, and I’ll probably own one someday. Not
