The pinto-based Ford Mustang II and Cadillac Seville also sold well for similar reasons, offering Japanese buyers a "luxury American Cadillac" or a "sporty American Mustang" at a more wallet-friendly price. Interestingly enough, all YANASE-imported Buick Skyhawks on the site are the same red color. I'm thinking several may have been owned by the studio.
