Robert,

The 67.5 cars are somewhat orphaned (much like the 65 1500) when it comes to 
Roadsters.  That is because they are transition models.  The side trim 
moulding on the 67.5 is just like the 68 - 70 cars - convex and smooth.  
Exactly.  The 65 1600 - 67 is the side trim that is somewhat boxy (concave 
on the face).  The 1500s had similar trim except it goes all the way to the 
headlight trim ring, and the front end and back end don't taper to a point - 
they are round and "clipped".  If you see one, it will make sense.

Sid
