    Ah, it's the difference between regular and Fisher body codes again.

    I always thought that the term "ragtop" was only used for convertible tops ?
    This Wildcat isn't a convertible, and it has a vinyl top.

    Yes, that is the way it is used by 99.99% of the automotive world.

    lol... thanks for that straiting out... i was having a time beliveing it to be blue at one point... but mine is about the only one ive seen with the chrome strip down the body line in front, whats the dealings with that... or do people yank those off and file down to have a smooth look?

    When a car is getting a new paint job, a lot of owners weld up the holes and go for a cleaner look without the mouldings.
    Same goes for the Boattail Rivieras.

    Not sure if you could order the Wildcat with or without the mouldings, and if there's a difference between the regular Wildcat and the Wildcat Custom models when you look at the mouldings.

    But I'm sure that the Wildcat experts on this board can tell you more about this in detail :TU:


    PS:Set your Photobucket account to accept 1 MB files, I think now your photos are badly down-sized to a 640 x 480 format ?
