I have always thought of 4 doors as parts cars myself..and JB has a great saying "4 doors...no waiting". I do know there are some exceptions, mostly in the late 50's, early 60's with the 4 door hardtops of the era's...which, without the B-pillar, look pretty cool. I would say the benefit of the 4 door, if you can stomach the design, is that they are relatively cheap...for obvious reasons.

Pretty tough to make this look cool....




Ummmm...Yeah....




The Exception:

THAT 60' IS JUST PLAIN KICK ASS I'VE always loved those 1960 4drht gm's with the wraparound back window, (impalas,caddy's,pontiacs, etc...)
