It's not flamboyant or extravagant but for me it's weird because of its isolation, meaning, it was massively popular in Iran, but I've never heard of it.
It caught my attention only recently, by briefly appearing in Thirst by Mahmoud Dowlatabadi (a harrowing war story).
I imagine, if it was popular in any other country, it would be a tuner legend.
Picture 3 depicts, per AROnline:
"In 1974, Michelotti was commissioned to build a coupe version of the Paykan. It was a fully-running and roadworthy coupe built especially for a wealthy Iranian that we know nothing about other than their name – Mr Samani.
What distinguishes this car from more mainstream coupes in this market sector at the time were its gull-wing doors, fully-glazed hatchback and moulded front and rear Polyurethane bumpers – features that make this car look more like a design from the 1980s."
