That would be a cool car and stronger than a sedan with the roof off. A member of our club used to cruise around delivering papers in a car just like that in the mid 60's. (Might even be the same car?) I have a pic somewhere....stay tuned.

More than likely different cars - painted headlight rims on the lower picture - chrome units at the top. Front quarters on the second one, no quarter vents on the top one. And number plate in the first one starts with a "C", but the second car looks more likely to be a "B".

When it rained these things must have been the biggest bathtub around

Great pictures!!

Cheers,

Craig.

Car #1: CTU-370.

Car #2: BMW-243 (appears to read).

As well as the other differences already spotted.  Base colour appears different too.
