While reviewing a Jan/Feb 1989 issue of the WTN found the following pictures of a custom Jet Convertible. Pictures are kinda grainy, but the essence of what the car was is shown. Does anyone know if this car still exists?

    Looks like it may have used the 42-47 hood in back for a trunk. Neat idea if you had a jet with roof damage . Might even have a stepdown windshield ,

    There are similar stories of many Kaiser Henry J compacts being built into convertibles for dealers around the country, and others by home customizers. A few of those exist.

    If the manufacturer wouldn't deliver a certain body style out of their catalog, the aftermarket would build it for someone. All it takes is money and time and desire.
