The original one had a lot of headroom too. I used to carry a table
saw to the job upside down in the back seat. It was a convertible
which made loading the saw easy, but the top would close over the
legs.

I think it's still running near Concord NH. 1965 1200, dark green, top
from a later model, plywood fold-flat rear seat, hatch added to access
the starter and engine mounting bolts.
