This is a very nice cosmetic Resto.
Its a mystery why both doors do not present well...pretty bad blending.
The rear seems to have a few bumper taps.
But if bought for the right price there's a lot of value here.

Generally looks to be a real nice AM radio only car. I personally hate seeing Coupe DeVille convertible WHICH IS IT.

Nobody can get it right.

Even the pictures from the latest GN receive the Convertible Coupe designation under each picture of a convertible.

If the CLC cannot get it right, then nobody can.

Good point Bruce, there is only one way to have a Coupe DeVille convertible. Take a Coupe DeVille and a sawsall and cut the roof off. Almost always when I see that written the seller wants stupid money for the car and my first reaction is since you don't even know what you have how about $5.00.

Coupdan must have come off the same production line as yours.

Edit: I think some confusion is from how the 30's and 40's convertibles were named or described. The 4 door convertibles were convertible sedans if memory serves, and the 2 door convertibles were convertible coupes weren't they?
 When did the convertibles become just a "De Ville"? Wasn't it some time in the 60's?

Here is an Eldorado Convertible Coupe that I saw in Merrit, Canada when we stopped for fuel.   There was this Eldorado Convertible at the pumps.   It looked a bit odd at first sight.   I got closer to have a chat to the driver to which he replied that it became a convertible at 3.30pm last Thursday.   "Took 20 minutes with the sawzall".   They had to go to the local music festival and as the weather was so good, decided to make their coupe into a convertible.   The finished article looked good at twenty feet.
