Wrecked the front end on the car listed above. Are there other makes that use the same front end body style and are they interchangeable?

The easiest way to figure this out is to visit a salvage yard and have them look up your vehicle in their "Hollander" Guide. That will list every part for your model and year with a code number. You look up that number in the back of the book, and it will list every application that used that part.
Be aware you still can run into the wrong part. Hoods, for example, could have been available with no hood scoop or a number of designs. Each one will bolt onto the vehicle, but in some cases the body lines might not line up with those on the fender. There is often multiple choices for bumpers too depending on the options. Fog lights, proximity sensors, and things like that will mean different bumpers, even though each style will probably bolt on okay.
