Default Coupe becomes a hard top

Now lets look at the very same December 1968 "Hot Rod" magazine issue. There is a fold out ad for the new Judge as you open the the cover.

Same coupe but how did it change. John Delorean made the decision to make the Judge an up scale "Supercar" after the test. So out came the air brushes. Now you have this ad. Suddenly a coupe becomes a hard top.

I'll show you more changes done in the GTO brochure in the next post.

Also, as Matt noted earlier, No mention of ram air III just Ram Air at 366 and Ram Air VI 370. This you now know is because of the four tube system it gives you places to bring in air. Thus Ram Air IV. Not due to the next in line of the sequnce of appearance.
