Can anyone out there help me find any info on a "Majorca" custom edition Eldorado done in 1976-1977.  A friend has a yellow 1977 that came from Scottsdale, AZ originally and I just aquired a red 1976 that is an original Los Angeles car.  I have been told they were made by the Coach Design Group of CA, who also did the Seville San Remo conversions.

These are a very well done, unusual conversion.  The cars feature large, solid metal T-Tops (not the small glass Hurst units) that are cut to the contours of the winshield frame.  The rear quarter windows are filled in solid, yet the cars do not have vinyl roofs.  They feature a chrome band over the top that runs out to the front of the hood, similar to Biarritz trim and the word "Majorca" is engraved in this trim above each door handle.  Both cars feature the heavy chrome grille caps and the 76 has aluminum turbine wheels and the 77 had custom wire over chrome wheel discs.

Any info or literature would be greatly appreciated.
