Say no more.

If they had actually put this into full production this would have absolutely have had a soft top version since this was designed with a kind of Euro flair in an era filled with all kinds of sporty, European convertible coupes.

I'm sure that a soft-top would have made the option list; how could you tootle around Cannes without one?

I like this. It has elements of all kinds of European styling to it. A bit of Fiat 124 Coupe, a bit of Porsche, even a bit of Tatra if you squint a little.

Two were built and two remain. Not a bad batting average. Tjaarda went from this straight into the design of the 124 Spider for Fiat, so there is a hint of its headlight scoops and fender swell.
A beautiful design.

So... A Corflair?

OMG, I would even pay top dollar for the badging! Superb!

No no, the Superb is a Skoda

Well, of course, there is that...

Personally, I prefer the styling of the second generation Corvair.

Absolutely, and you can see how this design led to it!
