The 2300 outsold the 1800 by quite a margin, so Firenza 2300 [HC]. Yellow with black vynal roof was popular colours even if the car didn't sell in great numbers. edit: By about 1973 the flat-fronted Firenza was re-named Magnum coupe (Firenza remained as the droop-snoop design) but it lasted only another 18 months before it was dropped due to poor sales. -- Last edit: 2006-11-27 18:28:03
