Thank you for posting @cuda hunter -- I see that DL41L1D158247 originally sported a white vinyl top.

Yep, I am blind apparently. Corrected, thank you.

I don't know why someone wouldn't want a 4-door hardtop of a big car like this: there's nothing "sporty" about a 2-door that's this big, and it's so much easier to get in and out of a 4-door (the back, that is). When it's a hardtop, you get the full open-side effect with all the windows down, too. There's nothing to NOT love!

I'll never understand how the 2-door of a car can be worth multiple TIMES what a four-door is of the same basic car, especially if they're both sedans (i.e. with B-pillars). Hopefully that's a mentality that will die-off with the older generation (everyone's growing up with sport SEDANS now, very few coupes left and no 2-door sedans or hardtops).

Right! What's not to love! Two door has a different roof line and looks better , that's not just my opinion but I do feel that way.

Yeah, roofline is a personal preference; I always think that these cars as 2-doors look a bit "stunted" in the greenhouse; the 4-door hardtop lengthens that and makes it look a bit better proportioned, IMO.

But the hardtop has the dumb backglass. The sedan nails it. The right hardtop could sway me though.

True, the back of the sedan's roofline is best. I like the 2-door hardtop's the least, and the 4-door hardtop somewhere in the middle. It really makes one wonder why Chrysler did so many rooflines and rear glass treatments! Just pick one :/.

Just get a 70 convertible and the roofline issue becomes moot.

Not all of us can afford or want a convertible .
