The wheels remind me of Rover and Jensen, the body seems to say Pininfarina, but that's all I've got.

Is it just me, or does this car bear a resemblance to a '77 Buick Lesabre - right down to the wheel design?

Those look like your standard Magnum 500 wheels.  I had them on both of my '69 Cutlass's, and I know you could get them on Mustangs as well as many other cars. 

Nice looking car tho.

Except for the offset hood scoop, a tad generic. But much nicer than most 60's (or 70's, or 80's) Volvos, for sure. The interior looks a mite uncomfortable.
