1970's car id
Not an interesting car, I'm sure, but what is that 2 door car just to the left of the clock in this photo?

Not a Capri, it’s an AMC

^^^ Looks like an early 1970s AMC Hornet Hatchback coupe.

I looked at both to the above, and neither seems correct. The Capri and the Hornet both had a concave rear line, even on the hatchback. The car in the photo looks convex. And I can't find anything that matches those tail lights.
The bumper in the photo almost looks like someone did a home repair. I really should not be spending my time on such a meaningless search.....

My first thought was the Mercury variant of the Pinto..the Bobcat.
But I think it may well be the AMC.

It looks better than most of the other cars in that picture (and of that time). It’s a pity AMC died out.

This was a case for death.

To me it looks like a Toyota. Corolla wagon, maybe.
