Around the same time, olds had built a similar amt of 4-dr 4-speed cars for export to the middle east, and at the last minute, the deal was scrapped and they were sold domestically. They were called "Iraqi Taxis".

I believe those were 4 door, manual transmission Chevrolet Malibu's;
I've pulled parts off of a couple of them in years past.
