<VV> 4 doors, was: Corsa differences humor

[kenpepke at juno.com]

Years ago ... Late 80s maybe ... perhaps at the convention in Chicago there was
a 2 door with the 'formal' rear window.  I took a picture of it but I have not seen
that picture for years :-(  Maybe someone remembers that car.

I did, and I happen to have his pics on my computer. He did a nice job of 
photoshopping a profile shot of his black 4door into a "formal roofline" 2door. 
My thought is that such a conversion would be easy to do, and a hoot to show. But like 
you point out, the only glitch is getting that rear quarter window made.

Frank Regal (from Chicago area) managed to mount a 4door roof/backlite section (above the 
drip molding) onto a regular 2door coupe, but said that it was a nightmare. The coupe is 
actually tapered in back, and narrower than a 4door at that point. You can actually see 
the taper if you look at the rear quarter window from the rear of the car. Frank's car 
was interesting to say the least.

The REAL beauty IS the 4door hardtop. Even the designers at GM considered
it their best work (and that word from GM via Dave Newell). Beautifully
porportioned from any angle.
Did anyone see the image on the 'Net a year or so ago; someone put in a morph of a car he 
was making, starting with a 4-door, removing all the doors and the stub B-pillar, then 
putting in the doors from a 2-door, the bodywork back from the door to where the rear 
door ended.  All he would have to have made would be the window glass behind the doors.  
Very interesting, a 2-door with the 4-door's roofline.
