It was especially common in the seventies and early eighties when everyone wanted a phaeton. The man I used to work for when I was a teenager that got me into this mess had a 72 car classic car collection, lots of really big dog stuff.

He found a somewhat derelict 740 7 passenger sedan back around 1983, his restoration guy yanked the sedan body and made it into a dual cowl phaeton. He had crazy skills with an English wheel! The finished car was painted cream and it was gorgeous, but, it had started life as a solid black sedan. Often wonder where that car is today!
