Question, how does the Australian / New Zealand production fit into the metal vs fabric sunroof changes.
They did not change body styles to the bigger windows and kept their old presses producing the early sixty bodies until their end of production in 1968. Did they ever get a metal sunroof in these late early body cars or did they keep the fabric sunroof all the way through to the end?

Hi Dave,

From what I could find, Australian ragtop production continued through May 1966.

This isn't from first-hand documentation though, just from a post about halfway down the first page of this thread:

I'm sure an Australian guy will chime in to confirm.
