Splendid, it's now plan of record unless push back from one of the other Board members. Only open issue is rear window roll-down. Not expecting it to go all the way, only concerned that it won't go down at all. Needs to be an open channel all the way to door's rear edge. If a physical impossibility without major tear-up the proposal would have been in jeopardy. Vent windows would have avoided the issue and been useful to occupants but would have impacted appearance. Image below shows vent windows on '54 version of car.
With the new chassis forget the 149 dual cowl phaeton, much better looking on 136 wheelbase. That's what Caribbean was all about. The cowl could have been fixed to add structure and house a flip-up rail to hold onto when standing and waving.
