I remember a friend in HS family had a clamshell Chevy version of this.

This looks like the same car, which apparently didn't sell yet at $18K

I remember Chevy used to advertise that you could open the tailgate without unhitching a trailer.
Chevy used to offer a manual tailgate, although the window was always power (of course).
Still, I like the car. Different, and mostly original. And like they say, "they're only original once".

Or, as Top Gear viewed it: ( I think far too harshly, but he had some good points).

This was pretty clean:
A little rough but not rusty:
I kind of liked this thing - they started it and it ran smooth:
That'll buff right out:
This was pretty clean, dash pad was flawless. It's weird to think that Accords are 40 years old:
Man, where I live, I have not seen that generation Accord, in that condition, for probably 35 years. That's no joke. They routinely had holes at the top of the fenders.
Interior pics weren't very detailed. 80s version of bordello red, I guess. Indicated 95K and it was well kept for those:
The Accord had the beginnings of rust cropping up at the passenger A-pillar. Terrible place for it, but that speaks to the gentle climate here. The interior wasn't completely decomposed, making me think it is a local car.

Here's the old listing
And a final run fintail that I should have bought, it was immaculate other than it hadn't run in 25 years and apparently was seized

Maybe this was a subconscious thing at first, but I always thought the slant or slope of the cut the rear of the door window reminded me of Studebaker Champ pickups.
I have a foggy memory of that stepside look being available from Chevy on LUVS, a couple or three years maybe after they were first introduced, but I wouldn't wager a bet on that.
