Subject:Re: 1990 Hightop "Atlantic"

No, that’s not true.

The California and the Atlantic were both available in pop-top or hightop models.  They were the follow-on to the Joker and Club Joker respectively.

The difference between the two is the trim level … the California had fewer base features, but almost everything was available as an option.  The Atlantic was the top-of-the-line trim which came with thermal windows (3-season use), parking heater, etc.
