<VV> body styles

[J R Read_HML]

Yep... that is correct.

In the early - mid '60s, I was into 30 year old F... cars.  One was a 2 door 
sedan - like this one:

,but the grill and wheels were body color (black).  Otherwise - the same 
car.

I did not know it was called a "slantback" at the time, but (thinking back) 
that was probably a rare version.  Most had a "humpback?" - which was - the 
trunk was a hump on the rear which opened from outside of the car.  That '35 
is long gone - it became a wedding ring in 1965.

Anyway - I called it a 2 door sedan and still do.  The "trunk" was like on a 
Rampside (Corvair content).  The rear seat folded forward to get there. 
Also, there was LOTS of leg room in front of the rear seat.  I guess they 
had not figured out how to hinge a front seat on those days.  You had to 
lift the entire front passenger seat - hinged at the front at the floor - in 
order to get to the rear seat.

Later, JR
