Smile '36 Cabriolet

Does anyone have any idea of how many '36 Club Cabriolets are left
of the 4616 that were built?

Hi,
I have one dismantled in Connecticut. I'd be interested in your tally.
Thanks,

There is a friend of mine up here in Me. that had one for about 10yr's. He restored it and I build a hot 50 Merc. It was beautifull but he had about $10,00000000.00 in it. He just sold it last summer. I think it's still in Me. not sure. Walt

Someone came up with a rule of thumb to go by for collector cars: !0% of open cars and .05% of closed cars are still out there, and half of those numbers are drivable.
The question remains, though, whose thumb rules?

Not meaning to sound nasty, but how in the world would anyone possibly know that? There could be cars stashed away anywhere.
