    32 three window or 5 window

     



    Hi Does anyone know which one has more leg room? I was told since i an 6 '1 a 5 window coupe would have less leg room than a 3 window coupe. Is this true?

    In stock form ... a 3W is easier to get in and out of. I am 6 foot 2 inches tall and I have plenty of room in my 32 3W. My 32 3W is a original body ... so the dimesions are correct. No chop, No channel ... no messing around.

    I did remove the rear package tray.



    You can see in the photo, I am NOT a small guy. 6'2" and close to 300 pounds in this photo. Plenty of room. I had a 5W ... with the package tray removed and had difficulty getting in and out of the 5W. The doors are considerably shorter on a 5W.
    In this restored 3W, you can see how roomy they are and how wide the doors are.

    3 windows are bigger inside.
    Alot also has to do with seat placement and type of seat you use.
    I'm 6' 3"
    Long legs and have no problems

    DA34GUY; I love that Orange rag top.
    Do you have problems with any leaking with that sort of top?
    Thanks Kurt

    DA34GUY; They would have had to put a gun to my head to make me sell that thing.
    That was one sweet looking ride. My next ride I'm gonna buy already built.
    I'm in the middle of building my 65 ranchero with parts laying all over the place.
    I keep getting sick so I have not got it together yet.
    I'm to the point that when I feel good I went to be cruzing instead of building now.
    Can't enjoy the build when your sick all the time.
    So I'm gonna look for a company that builds some old replica's and buy one to enjoy.
    Thanks for the info on the rag top.
    Kurt
