Cordoba

The car is a 1980s Chrysler Cordoba. The bar’s sign is the Cordoba’s crest and can be found in the hood ornament and other details. I don’t know if the Mayan-looking bird was based on anything real or if an artist at Chrysler cooked it up. This car is associated with “fine Corinthian leather,” a meaningless term that a copywriter invented, so anything is possible. A Google search turned up nothing on the matter.
