chris40 ◊ 2010-02-01 16:42	Didn't the Eclipse have a one-piece screen? I wasn't aware until today that there was a 302 Cabriolet, but this shouted 402 to me as soon as I saw it.

This version had actually a one-piece whindscreen. Yes the shorter 302 Cabriolet went on production in 1937, then followed by the 402 Légère Cabriolet (same short wheel base) in 1938. Production of both models stopped in 1939.
