Chevvy made a two-door and a four-door hardtop convertible that year,
(no window post between the front and rear windows) and they looked pretty sexy,
but I've never seen a restored hardtop.

Eagle Rock Lodge
Pam and Carl recently spent two relaxing days at Eagle Rock Lodge, 35 miles east of Eugene on the McKenzie River Highway (Oregon 126). The rooms were comfortable and spacious; the fireplace was warm and cozy and breakfast was delicious. Below are two photographs we took at the lodge.
