That sounds about right...

Some years ago, some Vair authorities ventured comments suggesting that
those early 4-doors would likely be rare in the future because nobody was
bothering to save them.   There's merit to that comment.    I've seen
cretins strip NICE 4-door sedans to salvage its parts to refurbish a ratty
coupe or ragtop.   Blasphemers, IMHO.

Not in my camp.   I personally (currently titled to me alone) own *one*
early model Vair and it's a 4-door.    It has a home with me for as long as
either of us last.    I don't have a late 4-door... but I'm kinda keeping
an eye out for a project.    Now, there are lates in the fleet, coupe and
ragtop etc but no 4-doors.
