Yikes!
The 82 T/A I ordered before I'd ever seen a Knight Rider ad (I found out
about it before it came in though). The 84 was just a replacement for
the totalled 82. The Stealth I had in hand before I saw what they were
doing with KR 2010.

Heh, yeah.
I miss my t-tops still. They were the glass so even when they were in
they were fun. Had the ceiling inserts for hot weather driving, which
was of course pretty much all year 'round . . .
