Re: [FWDLK] On Golden Lancer....

"The Plymouth-DeSoto Story" mentions a few, and even has some pictures. Know
how GM is making retractable roof SUV's now? Chrysler was making wagons that
did that in the late 50's early 60's, but they never got past the concept
stage as far as I know. I'd tell you more, but neither of the two copies I
have access to are within arm's reach right now.
