The drip molding at the end of the top of the windshield post on hatchbacks was rounded, there was no break in it like on this picture so it narrows the choice to Skylark/Omegas as 4 door Citations and Phoenix were available in Hatchback only. The black window frames and center post make it either a Skylark Sport or Omega SX and the curve visible on the lower part of the passenger side of the dashboard is found on the Omega but not on the Skylark. On the Phoenix and Citation, there was also a crease in the sheet metal at the middle of the doors that would be visible on this picture. These are flat.

I located a few pictures of Omegas that did have badging in that location.But it had a bar underneath with additional writing inside, which is absent here.If it was an SX, though, wouldn't it have striping and large painted on "SX" lettering on the lower half of the car?
