I agree 100 percent with the above statement. It was clearly the only way they were aloud to revive a seventies name. See how it goes but we won't really back the idea because we don't want to seen as a company that can't come up with new ideas. You can build a canopy and use the sandman idea for that but we won't actually build a new sandman.
You have to remember that there was no sandman revival when these canopy conversions came out. So they were hardly going to go out all guns blazing on a seventies car that was struggling to pull $3000.
