Anyone know of a "Waikiki Special" 68 rag Camaro?

Reinforced... well, it's just a 4-door hardtop with no roof. They probably just combined the two (4-door hardtop and convert). It sure wouldn't like it year around in the rust-belt.

Waikiki background - That's Detroit. The Ren Center is right above the guy's head and I *think* that's Stroh's old HQ on the right. A Detroit native should know better than me, I don't go downtown Detroit much....

I've looked at many 4 door hardtops in junkyards. No reinforcement needed, the door posts seem to hold up fine. That area is completely stock on that show car.

Kurt, that pic was taken from the south end of Belle Isle.
Or the west end, depending on your point of view.
No way that you could see both the Ren Cen and Strohs from downtown Winsor.

GO TIGERS!!

Ren-Cen wasn't built until about 1975 I think.

Good point! The clue is the Penobscot building in the middle of the picture. Unmistakable profile for anybody from Detroit to identify.
The Ren Cen should be to the left, but it wasn't built yet.

Oops. At least I recognized something of the skyline.

Here's an 72 pic.
