1963 Clear Hardtop?
At our Dimmitt show Saturday we had a 1963 convertible entered that had a clear hardtop on it. When I questioned the owner he told me that there were only two made. One for for the SAE show in Detroit and one for a GM executive. Has anyone ever heard of this? I'm not doubting him but any NCRS guys out there to verify this claim?
I took a picture of it but don't know how to post. Let me know and I will e-mail it to whomever.

And yes, I've seen them for sale on the Big auction site, but for a C1, not a C2.
