Jetfires were 1962 and 1963 HARD TOP only cars, no wagons, sport coupes, or convertibles were ever factory produced. There are 2 fake convertibles out there also. 1962,63 Cutlass were post cars, only the Jetfire was a Hard Top and you could only get the Turbo in a Hard Top Jetfire.
Here is my REAL 1962 Jetfire:

They were hardtop COUPES only. If's as if someone built a 1969 Camaro Z/28 convertible, automatic, A/C, and Motor Trend or Hot Rod did an article on it being real 1 of 1 and the general public started believing it.

For the new 1967 Mustang, Ford offered a whole bunch of options. Included were 3 for the rear panel. Above is the Rear Grille body colored.



You could also have it painted Charcoal Gray.



Or skip the grille and have it painted Charcoal Gray. All gave the car a distinctive look for very little money.

In 1969 Alan Bean, Charles “Pete” Conrad, and Richard Gordon all ordered what would become the most famous astronaut Corvettes of all. Painted gold and black to match their lunar module spacecraft, and bedecked with triple-carb 427s, this trio of Corvettes was featured in many press photos and came to define the pilots and their cars.

The "good old days" before the FDA (via an act of Congress) banned all advertising tobacco products.
