For whatever reason it seems like a Monte Carlo to me.

No wing window, not that Electra, maybe a '70 My first impression was a Monte, but the vinyl top does not look right for some reason, maybe a Riv

If it helps here's some wider crops of the photo. The chrome A-Pillar isn't clicking anything in my head.

Early mid 60's have chrome. Maybe a Continental coupe? The 225 has the rear window angles? I am not seeing Riv.

When you are as cool as J.J. Cale you don't need to close no stinking door!

That's a GM boat from the '70's. That's a normal shutline.

The Boat-tail Buick Riv is #1 on my list of American cars of that era. Cool for days, and one of the last cars with beautiful lines before the dark days of auto design IMO.
