Old Olds
If only it were made as a 98 2 door hardtop.

I'll take either a 2dr or 4dr but would prefer the 4dr.

Beautiful ! The H61 tooling of the Super 88 coupe is a great release.

DAMN! I saw that 4-door sedan and passed out.....then I read the fine print. DAMN! I want a 4-door!

I want it to be a 2-door hardtop, as it gives the definition to the beautiful split rear windows.
I ordered one today! Can't wait!

Chris doesn't need my assistance at all. Not by a long shot! He IS the professor emeritus...
... of diecast modifications. I'm his student.

My understanding is that the model will be a 4 door. UPDATED INFO:
On this Wednesday morning, I called ACME to confirm that the car is going to be a 4 door which they did. Then they called me back and corrected themselves and confirmed the model will definitely be a 2 door.

The diagram below on the announcement shows a coupe and the picture says "real car picture for promotional purposes only". Presumably, the photo is only to show the new (and very attractive) color scheme for this release. Since I would imagine this is Acme's release using the Highway 61 tooling it would certainly seem to be extremely unusual for them to do such a major change to the mold at this point.
I suppose perhaps that H61 could have started the 4-door tooling process some years back, but I really would be astonished if this is a 4 door and maybe it's like the situation a while back where images were released seeming to suggest the SunStar was doing a 4 -door 1958 Continental, yet it finally turned out to be a 2 door, as their other '58's had been.

It will be a 2 door hardtop.

I just spoke with ACME again. They confirmed it is a 4 door. Then they called me back...
... to correct their earlier statement and confirmed it is definitely a 2 door.
