Default Retractable hard top

Galpin Auto Sports Mustang Retracting Hardtop in Action

<http://www.stangtv.com/news/video-ga...ng-retracting-
hardtop-in-action/>

Clever, but funny looking. Profile of the car is crap. Top up or top
down, I don't like it. Can't tell for sure but I think the back seat is
gone. Too bad someone put a huge amount of work into this.

If you like it, good news, it's for sale:

Not for me, but it's not bad. To my eyes, it looks at least as good
as the, somewhat similar, 80's McLaren Mustangs.

Back seat? When did Mustang ever "really" have a back seat that was
good for carrying passengers? A place to put packages, OK. But
passengers???? LOL Of course, some years were better than others.
Kinda like using a 'vette, Viper, or AC Cobra to carry many bags of
groceries. :0)

We drive Mustangs! We doan need no steenkeen back seat!

Wow, they look a bit odd too. I forgot about those.

True! If Ford offered a backseat delete from the factory I might be
tempted, but I don't see me buying a brand spankin' new car any time
soon. Hum, for all I know they _do_ offer one.
What I saw was, it looks as if the back of the back seat has been moved
forward a few inches, reducing the "package space". My curiosity is up
on this. I'd love like to see a better picture of the rear package space.

They don't, trust me. Because I'd have deleted rear seat if they
did. The exception: the Boss 302 SC.
