Well, ok it was done by a coach company. So to it originally started out as a hatchback and they just hacked it up and made a few. It looks like they tried to use the top mechanism from a cavalier convertible to me. I personally would've straightened out the part of the top attached to the "trunk lid" instead of having that curve to it. That might make it a little more appealing.

Yeah not the best looking, but at the time ragtops were few and far between.

i agree! to each their own, but black glh's with red interiors are a dime a dozen. i was totally psyched to find my gold on gold 85 glh. its got all kinds of odd ball options too, like the bumper gaurds and dealer sunroof.

Does anyone know the actual production number of glh's that were gold? it can't be many.

pictures to come soon of the gold one, int the mean time, here's my black 86 t-2.
