Tommy, depending on your preferences the big secret is that here in the USA there is very little appreciation for 4 door cars. I don't see that bias in Europe, so you can buy and import US 4 door sedans and hard tops for a small fraction of what convertibles and 2 door cars cost. Cars that will be collectible and appreciated in Europe!

I see that in the photos of recent Euro imports from the USA that some of my colleagues have posted on boards.

4doors are worth half of a 2 door or convertible over here as well. There are some very pristine examples but sadly to many

end up as "raggar" or "pilsnerbil" as we call it in Norway/Sweden. As in try make them look horrible thinking its cool.

Edit: I`m buying for me,and as superficial as it might be,2door hardtop is the most elegant imo. Well if we arent

talking 57-58 Brougham`s,but they are a little out of my budget.
