Years ago I had a Renault Caravel removable hardtop convertible and when the top was off, you had to pull up in the doors to close them because the body gave in the middle. Finally one night, while parked on the street, a drunk driver crossed the street and hit it head on with a VW. When the tow truck hooked up to it to tow it away it broke in half. I was so glad I never got in an accident while driving. On one trip to San Francisco I actually averaged 65 MPG back then. Of course you had to build up speed going down hill so you could get over the next one.
