Lido
Information:*
*
The
Lido
was
a
specially
trimmed
Club
Coupe
that
was
fitted
with
either
a
canvas
or
vinyl
top
and
custom
interior.
It
was
offered
for
just
two
years
(1950-51)
and
was
built
to
compete
with
GM's
flashy
new
hardtop
designs.
*
Just
4,482
of
these
standard
club
coupe
body
styles
were
built
in
1951,
and
an
unknown
fraction
of
these
were
built
as
Lidos.
*
Estimates
range
from
500
to
perhaps
1500
built
each
of
the
two
years*Restoration
