Sorry for being the department of corrections again :) but this is a 1973 145 wagon (the model numbers comprised of series/cylinders/doors). It's a one-year-only grille design for this final year of the 140-series.

The 240-series debuted for 1974 with the slanted grille.

Love the set of three here, especially the color palette from when non-metallics ruled!

Wow. Four '73s. That guy loves him some D-Jet fuel injection.

Never seen 242GT Rims on a 140 before. I couldn't get them to clear the dust shields on mine.

Those 242GT wheels look great on this 145E.
