I think that 'HQ Monaro" in the BG of the kid's shot is a 4-door that has been weirdly converted into a 2-door (hence the window frames etc), and the lense might be distorting it a bit which makes the C pillars look funny?

If you look at the 'camber' on the back wheels, I would suggest that the lense is playing with the image a bit. I can only imagine it's hard to get real Monaros over there, considering how hard it is over here!

You never know, a lot of US car enthusiasts are getting old Chev's/parts from Cuba, the country being a lot poorer doesn't churn over new cars as regularly and there are so many old Chev's still driving the streets.
