Carl,

My dad took the train from Baltimore to Hoffmans in NYC in '59 to take delivery of the first convertible D in the country.

He drove it back from NYC in the dead of winter with the top down.

I'd love to find out where that car is now.

Do you know the number and did you check on this site?

Also do you recall the original color, was the D ordered by your dad or was it ordered by Hoffman.

thanks for the list I actually have that but those are not dealers they are dist. I was looking for a list of all the dealers. Anyone? Super cool info on Hoffman and nice picture. That early D story would be a great one for one of the P magazines. You should write it. I would read it. So funny about rust but probably true. I think they rusted on the ship from Germany to the US>

Great memory!

I saved this from somewhere - It's gotta be one of the early price sheets.

The second sheet has a classic tag line...
