But it a Buick. In fact, he's right! It's not a Buick... But Chrysler seems to have been inspired by the 1977 Buicks when they did these 1979 St-Regis/Gran Fury... And even previously, the 1974 Monaco was also looking similar to the 1972 LeSabre.

Commander 57 ◊ 2010-07-17 21:36	I must revise my comments. I examined a '79 Dodge St. Regis brochure and saw both type of hood ornaments used for that year. Not sure if the thin type was continued into '80, however.
