Carolina on Ebay which wants to be a Manhattan
« on: March 05, 2012, 02:00:07 PM »
Someone tried to make a Manhattan out of this Carolina -

Ad says "only 3 two doors known" - could be correct as I know of 3 and this would make 4. Anyway, it has Manhattan interior door handles/window cranks, Manhattan head light trim and some other things. It is a nice looking car just the same.

It is #1 on the Registry list, one of 8  2 doors reported ever. I'm sure some like a 'Walker' car are shells somewhere or long gone.
