I stumbled across this article in Hagerty's online magazine.  There are no big, new insights about the car but it's a nice tribute to the last of the full-size, rear drive convertibles.  It has some nice photos too.

Thanks for posting. I looked at the article, saw the license plate and said hey that’s my car. Pics were taken at a car show in October of ‘19. Too bad he didn’t ask that I shut the hood...  A fellow club members ‘57 is next to mine. Funny thing at that show, the ‘57 got an award and the ‘70 got nothing.

Agreed. What do those brainless plebeians know, anyway?

Prolly no under hood pic because of the non-stock open element air cleaner, chrome valve covers and electronic ignition.   You guys like the big gulp cup and the kettle corn in the front seat?

Laurie no need for me to get in touch with the author but thanks for the offer!
