I personally think a hardtop for the roadster could look very, very cool.

 

Any one come up with what it would look like. I thought of using a Thunderbird hard top. Its a cheap photo shop of what it would look like.

 

What would happen to the kayak rack???

 

I thought they were redisigning the Crossfire. They were going to use a Ferrari V12 and mount it mid-ship. I think this was in 2012.

 

I use to be a big fan of the "Port Hole" window on the "Baby Birds" from the 50's. Thought it was a nice touch on the last T-Birds as well. I found out about 10 years ago, that the guy responsible for the original T-Bird "Port Hole" concept was the chief designer on the AMX. I think that's what the large AMX circle emblem on the "C" pillar emulated.
But Cassidy, I'm afraid your photo shop of the Crossfire looks dangerously close to the Chrysler TC. Too close for comfort.

Wow ya it is, I never knew about that car. But why do people want a hard top for the roadster any way isn't that why they made a hardtop and a roadster.

 

I think the biggest reason for a removable hardtop being offered for a roadster, is for those people who live in the colder climates, and have to drive their cars year round.
Putting the hardtop on when the bad weather hits would help protect the convertible top from all of winters nastiness.
But now a days, (with the way the tops are designed) you probably do more permanant harm to your fabric top by keeping it folded up for 5 months than you would if you just went ahead and drove it thru the winter.

 

I was looking for a rubber seal repair for my top gasket and came across these guys:

I see they are making a hardtop for the mustang - looks like if anyone was into doing this they may be. I didn't have time to go through the site but looks interesting, Ron
