Default a vinyl top coupe and a you gotta see from Car show Austin, TX

These were at a car show in Austin, a couple of weekends ago. Only vinyl top coupe I've ever seen -- factory option? Don't know what to say about the green one other than :eek: :eek:

Factory option!!! :lolg: :lolg:

Maybe at the fudge factory.

Is it just me, or does that green thing look like the new XLR. :nonod:

The green one looks like the front end of a John Deer to me.

The green thing: :U How could someone do that to a vette?

The vinyl top was offered as an option. I didn't think it was an option on the t-top cars though, only on the hard top coupe?

eww, i like neither of them. The vinyl kind reminded me of this new buick around here i see cruising through the college looking for girls, they did the vinyl in plaid along with a few interior things and bling bling rims

That makes me wonder what goes thru the minds of people that do such things in Bubbaville. :confused: I guess beauty is in the "sick" mind of the beholder. :lol:

Ronnie, my car was in that show--I'm real offended you didn't stop by and say hello!:D

The green car was definitely a dirt tracker--it had a roll cage and was stripped down pretty thoroughly. I somehow managed to miss the vinyl top car. Looks kinda pimp to me--did it have velour upholstery, too?

Guessing that green thing was totaled and instead of junking it they converted it to a dirt/circle track car. Looks like something out of Mad Max. Guessing it is better than seeing it rot outside next to a barn.

Good grief, those both define poor taste. Also, what's with the side vents on the beige one?

Looks like they were trying to do the Cord 812/John Deere combo with the green one...

...but they should have kept the hidden headlights.
