Datsun Roadster Reinvented

[spl310]

The shape of the top in Redtail's photo is the stock shape. The Parrish/Smoothline is different.

I think Sid was thinking of a Chrysler 300, either the originals from the 50's or a late 70's model with Fine Corinthinian Leather. Where is Corinth anyway?

Really looks kinda like this though or the new T-Bird

No, it was the Cordoba - more specifically, the Mirada version of the Cordoba. I had a neighbor years ago that had one. Here, look at the grill on this one:

Mopar was producing some of the ugliest cars in the world back then - in my not too humble opinion...

I looked a little further and found one in white:

Look at the head on view - if you flip the front end upside down, you have the road-lady grill and hood scoop.

Here is one with the side vents. Crappy pics, but then these are not exactly blue chip collectibles either:

That's the one I was thinking of exactly. a friend had one in the 80's. It was cool then. I was thinking, Corinth was in North Africa, wasn't it? Now
it's bugging me and I have to look it up.

I'm thinking of the car from the US vacation movie with Chevy Chase - Send it to Wally World!

The top is way cool on the photo of the red roadster, The wheels are JDM SSR or something like that, I saw them quite a bit on eBay when I was sourcing wheels for my old 83 Supra, the bolt pattern fits, but I think the bolts were 'air/photobrushed' out, great look with some chrome, and killer top.

Keep an eye on eBay, they pop up every once in a while, I still look for my Z and roadster.
