Damn Wes, you're good. It's the 65' President. Original ancestor to the Q.

I saw some of the older Presidents in Japan a few years ago, probably 70s or 80s models. They are strange, but still imposing and a bit gaudy.

I like the straight beltline on the President. It looks professional.

Greg!

Good to see your'e still around. Do you still have that grey Q? You might remember me from years ago at the Yahoo meet at discovery mills.

Nothing resembling an Impala in the pic I'm seeing.

I also see a lot of early 60s Falcon in the first pic, along with the Olds (or rather, I see some President in the olds...).

Agreed. Cars with straight, singular beltlines are much better looking than cars with jumpy or curvey beltlines, in my humble opinion.

That's part of the reason I like the G50 Q and J30 Maxima styling so much--not that they're perfectly straight...
