    Roadster vs Targa

    polopharm sent this photo to me. It is a "before" shot of my Consulier (the Barbie car).
    I asked Warren about it, he said the car was a roadster first and converted to a targa.

    Also look at the other car in the shot...a silver K-car wagon. I have one of those also.

    I wonder why they never installed the rear hoop I found on any of the targa cars? it looks like it was painted for your or the ken car. Even has a recess for the little wings on the door.


    Here's a comparison of the hoop up against the targa top I sent you.



    It has no provisions for rear glass or a top.

    Maybe it was planned to go on the Ken car?
