U have those two sheets as well. Those cars were prototypes. I've
never found a coupe like that. There are however 4 possibly 5
converts like that one. The were 1983-made prototypes. When
production actually began n 1984 they were made as we all know then
to look.
I believe Hank has two or three of them. Those are NOT vent windows
on the convert, as they do look like that. Rather, they had not yet
figured out how to recline the windshield to meet the angle of the
side glass (new galss, stupid!) so, they put a vertical bar and a
small pane of glass in the triangle it formed. The regular window
glass was cut to ride up & down in the track of that bar.>
