@ed-davis Thanks...    believe it or not, I had a chance to acquire that yellow '60 HT this past summer, but I had nowhere to store the car.  😔 😔

That's a great pity: it's a real beauty.

That is unfortunate.  How many miles were on the car?

It was a partially restored solid, original car with less than 60K (...well, at least it looked that way )

here's one that never got made by DM

....wow, I never knew.    So, you photographed this prototype?

Yes Chris. In one of his many visits to my house, Rick, who was design manager at Danbury at the time, brought several prototypes over for me to photograph. 

Here's just one pic of each of the others:

I'm shocked that 1960 CDV never made it to production; I do the remember the '60 Eldo & Seville, however.  Nice pics!
