THIS is the "four seater" I was referring to, still can't recall the model name. At only two or three grand more than a 'Vette with comparable power and weight (didn't it have deDion IRS?), it "shoulda been more than a contenda" IMO.
Maybe Corvette owners were spoiled by fiberglass? (Hand-finished metal might have been $$$ to repair?)

That would be the Iso Rivolta. Quite a nice little sports coupe, actually, with reliable SBC 327 power and a very nice Italian body and interior. The styling wasn't everyone's cup of tea, but the proportions were good. You still see one for sale every once in a while.

Even in Southern California, the few I've seen on the street appear rusty after almost 50 years, darn it. Another point for Corvettes!
