alsancle Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 production numbers on these can't be very high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Jake Moran Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 I love the fuselage trend. I always thought that was a Mopar thing but you see it in other makes as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ: 1970 was the last year for full-size Mopar convertibles. Chrysler Newport: 1,124; 300: 1,077. Dodge Polara 500: 842; Plymouth Fury III: 1,952. Truly the end of an era. Those black-center wheel covers need to have the paint removed or to be replaced with a standard set.

Fossil Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I've never owned a convertible. Would there be much wind noise in one of these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the condition of the top and window rubber. Not too bad, generally. No matter how many seats a convertible has, it's basically a two-passenger car with the top down. Ask me how I know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really needs a set of the Mopar rallye wheels whatever they were officially called, 60 series rubber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, Jake, I agree per the Rallye-style factory correct wheels being a plus, but would prefer to also see period correct rubber rather than 60-series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s funny, my dad never owned a collectible that wasn’t a convertible. When I bought my first four-door sedan he just about lost his mind. The other thing that I just learned in the last few years is that there’s a bunch of guys that consider muscle cars that are convertibles to be “chicks“ cars. Not me, as I always looked for a convertible but I guess you couldn’t drag a convertible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avgwarhawk Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 This car has everything going for it. Except the hub caps. Kind of strange looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the point was that a convertible is generally heavier than the equivalent 2 dr sedan or hardtop, so is a less "serious" drag car 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58L-Y8 Posted January 6, 2022 Author Share Posted January 6, 2022 One can go fast at any time with enough horsepower on tap. The convertible is a vehicle (no pun intended) for enjoying those rare opportunities to bask in the warm breezes, sunshine, atmosphere and aura of romance an open car motoring affords.

Hudsy Wudsy Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I remarked recently about the absence of reveal moldings on another car. Could you imagine how this one would look if it lacked them? I wonder if we will ever see white interiors again? They sure were pretty! I love this particular blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
