Hey, I happen to have one of each. A convert has its uses. But I still
much prefer my 4doors..... :o)

-Mark
'67 Monza 4door (2)
'67 convert
'69 Corsa coupe (specially made, or I would have parted it out long ago)
(all of them are loaded, too)

Popularity has to do with *style* -- a convertible (IMHO) opens the driver to the driving experience like no coupe (or 4-door) can do...and it is better than a motorcycle because your butt doesn't hurt after two hours of riding.  4-doors are classy...I personally think *anything* Corvair is classy...but they seem to be quietly saying, "This is your mother's car!"  No flame...I would love to have a 4-door vair...as long as I first have my vert.  :)
