Glad to see the half tulips get some love. The thing I like about these late 50s models is how constantly they were changing. Lots of things happening in '57 that came together in the Capris.
Tulips & puzzles piece 420/620s(Petty fans can Rave all they want) they'll always look like misfits compared to 325/330 designs when Rickenbacker hit their stride.

Great article with more great history! I'm a being ed-u-ma-cated! Thanks!
"1957 half-tulip Capri" -> was this intentional or a typo?
I have so many of these I didn't know they were rare... :)
Yeah, those are in the queue…right after the New Style Combo 600VB BH/BTs! May need to ask you for some photos lol. Fixed.
