Nice little ride, no doubt about it, but do you want a car that merely has a back seat, or one that has a useable back seat? There is a huge difference, and the back seat in these is nothing more than an upholstered parcel shelf with seat belts.
LOL. Yeah, really.
Here is how this all started: I have thought about getting another sort of convertible to drive alot during the nice weather, take on road trips, etc. My wife has always wanted an old VW bug convertible. A few years ago I found a beautiful '79 triple white convertible and took it for a test drive. Needless to say, my size 14 feet and the three tiny VW pedals did not get along. Makes for a short and eventful test drive when you hit the gas, but you also hit the brake and clutch.
Anyway, near my house is a 1968 Fiat 850 Spider for sale that I stopped and looked at. My wife said something about getting another convertible, but it would have to have a back seat, mostly for our dogs, but for other folks too. So begins my journey.
I'll do some research on the first gen Volvo C70 (I have a friend who had one), late model Saab 9-3s, etc.
Thanks for the input . . . and the laughs.
