Will,  I was told that at the very end of the production run (late '79 to
'80) the hardtops changed, primarily for cost saving considerations.  The
rear corner windows were in the shape of small rectangles, vice the
triangles,  I don't remember all the differences but maybe this might help
you.  Can anyone else verify this?
