Message: Count me among Pastor K's "ilk." First, we can thank the '71 Eldorado for opera windows, not the fine folks at FoMoCo. Second, it was refreshing to see this all-original '78 Ghia V-8 at the AACA Nat'l in Shelbyville, TN, a couple of months ago. I delivered one of the '74 Ghias for a used car dealer friend back around '77 (drove it for several hours one-way), and it was a very fun little car. Silver/Cranberry with a sunroof. Granted, they look a bit better without the dish rack (it's a bit tall on the NEO)... Rear 3/4 Say what you will, but I like the II's, and wouldn't mind having one like that Ghia V-8. TG
