I saw one of these on the way home from BBTA.  It was in Sullivan, MO 
(also behind an import auto repair shop) and looked to be a '62 or '63.  
It was cut from jack port to jack port ... *very* short.  Would be OK for 
a parade vehicle I guess.  Sad to think that it could have been a nice 
non-sunroof deluxe :(
