| RE: Cheating Regarding "Production Vehicles" |

The vehicle you are referring to was a 1962 Galaxie convertible body fitted with an early Starliner roof assembly available only via "Special Order" in a kit form(roof assembly) through FORD'S Parts and Accessories Division. It was an answer to FORD'S RACING PROGRAM not doing so well as they didn't offer a "Fast Back" car to compete in then what was known as Grand National Racing (NASCAR).
A quarter glass was not released for this kit as it was intended for "Racing Only." NASCAR later outlawed the vehicle as it was not "production", much the same as they outlawed the 427 SOHC engine a few years later.
SUPER FORD did an article on this vehicle in the 1970's. I will try to find it and E-Mail it to you.
