2 door Hardtop, Nomad & Convertible '57 Chevrolet Belair's bring BIG money, Probably the most expensive to purchase of 50's domestics.....Maybe second to the Corvette?
Seemed like every other guy was restoring a '57 Chevy in the 80's & 90's, Lot's of nice 4-doors got cut up to revive 2-doors.
Back in the late 90's when I was the repo liquidator for a small car finance company (they got bought out and absorbed a few years ago) and we repo'd a fairl decent black four door '57 Chevy from a kid who was stationed at Camp Lejeune. Couldnt give the dang thing away. Ended up selling at auction for a couple grand, I forget the exact amount but it was way, way lower than what we loaned out on it. I was in Cincinnati and it was in North Carolina or I would have bought the thing myself and parked it in a barn. I know the 4-doors didnt have anything near the value of a 2-door but I ran that poor thing through the auction a dozen times and just couldnt get a bite. I talked to every dealer and wholesaler I knew down there, same answer every time. "Its a four door, nobody wants that...."
most "sports cars". Everything else is OK to me...

Here's a bit of a twist on the topic. I get nostalgic every so often and search for information about my first car, a 1970 Grand Prix. I came across something recently that said that generation was built on the 4-door A-body chassis. That allowed them to make a longer 2-door without designing it from the frame up.
those dors were l o n g, no?
Heavy. Maintainence hungry hinges?

... and suicide doors at that! guess by 1968 it was too late for the T-Bird; actually a decade earlier it was toast.
1 reason that's the only Bird I'd buy...
Cayenne, O.K I get it sort of - it is an SUV.

Cant get 3 chicks or two couples to the lake with that rig.
I had a 2 door truck for years (93 lightning) it was fun snorting around but about as practical as mammaries on a boar.
u probably did not need the bed much?
I dont need the dors (esp off rd as back east, here, we need 'smaller') as
it makes the vehicle harded to park & ambulate the streets. I never need the passenger space,
not even the co-pilot's~

It's their poorest selling car. For year 2021 Porsche sold 6x Macans and 4x Cayennes vs. the Panamera **
I have seen Panamera sitting in airport lobbies. A real head shaker design.
I am not a Porsche fan so I don't really care
Maybe if I had owned a mid sixties 912 I would be

Notice how much better the 2 door version looks:
I am with Pablo, I like the Fordor better-er
Also the Tempo / Topaz fraternal twins where much nicer cars. The Dukes and Duchess of rental fleets.
You could also order up a Topaz GS V6 with a 5 spd!
Can you say: r-a-c-e-c-a-r !
yup, sorry, like da 4dor above beddah 2.
I keep looking at the rear quarter on the 2 door and thinking about how disproportionate it looks, especially with that huge glass.
Not a big fan of the Camaro, but I can't say I'd enjoy seeing yet another American carmaker slap a classic name on something inappropriate.
