Yup...Completely Out of Line.....8-)
OK, maybe not, Opinions are common. I myself, think the series IV
was the best car. Best of the bodies (No Chrysler cut backs), the Good
looking series IV, V and Tiger fins (my opinion), still had the container
for the soft top (which I liked), the cool Hooded headlights, and I feel the
later series Hard tops were far better looking than the earlier bubble tops.
However, on a series III with it's pointy fins, the earlier hard top might
look better. AND if you wanted the automatic, the IV was the only option,
although, I can't imagine anyone actually wanting it in that car. It's a
Sports car !!
Now stepping down from the Opinion Podium.....Next!
