The story (unverified at this time)
The story is that Cony decided to start a new car brand based on the 360 Light. The brand was geared toward places like Hawaii and southern california where there was a lot of sun. To do this Cony had some prototypes built. The prototypes (rumored to be 5 total) used the same chassis and running gear that the 360 Light series used. The body was redesigned to look like a classic car at a much smaller size. The curved windshield was replaced by a flat one that folded forward. Four 'bucket' seats went in, the two front ones at the same height as the Light and the two rear ones elevated. All of this made for a 2 door 4 seater convertible without a top. An exposed gas tank, external fenders, running boards and detached headlights completed the look.
We are still trying to determine if this is a true story or some wild fabrication. The overall design of the car is not pretty but the build quality is very high. Factory prototype or someones one off fancy remains to be seen.
Offered at $TBD.
