I have the actual 4-page brochure. The final product was nowhere near as nice as that artist's drawing. Actually the car was pretty ugly! It was not a 2-seater, as shown in that drawing, but reather had the stock back seat. Also did not have those built in front fog lites. It had "dummy" vent wings, so that they could use the stock door windows. The vents looked dumb! Top up, was worse! The roof had a normal 1 piece large rear plastic window, like most convertibles, where the "C" piller was there was a huge blind spot, so to lessen the blind spot a hole was cut there in the shape of an upside down pyramid, and filled with clear plastic. It looked goofy. Few were made, but I have no production numbers. The others that came after it were much, much nicer! The Bicouac, the Classic Concepts car, and the Inter - what's-it's-name.....
