I don’t think it’s as bad as these butchered Travellers. Don’t mind some customs but I don’t like these, especially the “pick up”. Rear window line of a Volvo 740!

Also on eBay.

First, it most likely was a saloon by looking at the body above the windscreen. A lot of extensive bodywork and appears to be well done. However, it's always interesting to see what isn't done. Attention was put into strengthening by raising the door threshold but the door only has one hinge. Here was an opportunity to eliminate the curve out between front and rear wings if desired. It was desired to remove the roof gutter down to the wing.
