<VV> Convert an afterthought

[J R Read_HML]

Well...  There WERE EM converts, so it certainly was not a "new" concept.  I 
don't think LM converts are any more of an afterthought than, say the full 
line of FCs which starts with the '61 model year.  I'm sure they were NOT an 
afterthought - well maybe the ramp was!

Most of the "anomalies" on the verts have to do with adding strength since 
the roof of a coupe or sedan already provides that strength.  Compare the 
Corvair LM vert to other LM verts (mid - late '60s) from GM.  I think you 
will find similar construction techniques.
