I think the deck height dimension is the only external difference, so I couldn't tell.

If I remember correctly, it was Jan Reidel's car, and I kick myself for not taking a picture of it. It was beautiful! And, unique.

I think Jan was from Tiffin, Ohio. Has anybody else here ever seen that car?
Bill,
Is this the same car you are thinking about?
