    Personally I think the Henry's Three window prototype looked pretty smart.
    As others have linked to here are the images related below...

    So Greasy...get on it...they are cool and very rare birds indeed.
     
  2. The proportions are off, that's why not many are fond of a filled window or 1/2 ***ed sport coup conversion. Eliminating 2 Windows from a 5 window doesn't make an attractive 3 window . There's a bit more to it than counting to 3.

    I will say looking at Henry's prototypes I aplaud anyone who takes the reigns and pulls it off Hamb style and we all know that means lots of leeway for the canvas.

    There have been a couple of very credible versions here...hey Dylan a few more pics please we're Hambers secondly the other avenues...;)

    That Sport Coupe thing is pretty crude and I don't think anyones disputing that.

    The Sport Coupe is like a vinyl top hardtop so a metal version is plausible but needs bead and drip rail and many other mods 31Vicky mentioned that ole rusty lacks. 3 Window A's are cool.
