My ol' maid aunt bought a brand new Plaza in December, 1956. It had fixed
rear windows, kick-panel type cardboard covering the back side panels, and a
cutout for the single exhaust under the bumper. It did however have a back
seat. The car was so "tinny" [as we called it then] that the floors flexed
and popped when it moved.
