Thank you very much  :) . As far as I know those exhaust pipes were fake to veil the bearings of the leaf spring suspension.
Critics bashed Giugiaro's design back then...
However I much prefer the front view!

An interesting design. In my opinion, none of many re-works of the the design (including those done by Oldsmobile) eclipse the attractiveness of the original 1966 Toronado.

I would have thought the craftsmen at Ghia were capable of shortening leaf springs, or replacing them with coils.
