It's a Riviera. The door chrome side trim descends.

There was a grey market company that privately imported those, I think the majority were sent over in 1987. Some XMs were also imported after that.
 
It was never officially imported by CITROEN. CX Auto imported them under their own brand until Peugeot left the US in the early 1990s when CX Auto replaced the CXA models with the Citroen XM. Both were certified and officially registered as imported vehicles. There were far more CXA models imported than the XMs...rumor has it that only 7 XMs were imported. I have a picture (somewhere) of two of the XMs which were introduced at the Philadelphia Auto Show in 1992.

1974 Chevrolet Chevelle/Malibu. Don't really care for the "Colonnade" style, but thought the Laguna S-3 was somewhat attractive.

"The age could be anywhere from new to 10-20 years old but because of the platic's condition (very clean, out and underneath, I would guess it was newer rather than older.
   
Ok, give me a few days, I'll work on it and figure it out. Unless omeone else solves this mystery. "
  
Thanks for any and all help I kind of think it may be a rear-end piece just because of how it would have had to enter the tail light...?... and since the impact was enough to get my van's left sliding door/rear windows out of align. It's so darn frustrating, and I hope I can stop eyeing every potential vehicle that I see while I'm driving, it's kind of distracting lol
  
The plastic is definitely newer, and since it's deep black and not smooth, that has ruled out alot of potentials that I've come across...! Again, thanks!

Is that a '73 or '74? I thought the '73 was the only one that still had the two round taillights on each side, while '74 had a horizontal rectangular piece? I think that style looks really good with the large rectangular window and no vinyl on the top. I wish Pontiac still offered that type of window by the time the '76-77 LeMans came out, but by then you could just get the opera window, like what mine has, or louvers like what's on the Can Am.
 
Did they still offer a Chevelle SS in '73? Maybe that one above is an SS? I wonder what that back seat came out of? It's certainly not stock.
