rowan782 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Is that top crossover bar roll over protection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8E45E Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Nope!Its because GM did not want to retool the doors to get rid of the 'tavern' door handles on the B-pillar. They already knew there would not be enough sales to justify the expense of new door stampings unique to the convertible.Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Braverman Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 My mom had one of these. So much cowl shake I thought the car would break in half. Also, a leaky and drafty top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketraider Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 What Craig said. But the basket handle was enough to satisfy federale rollover standards at the time! plus it had a certain "Porsche Targa" cachet about it:rolleyes:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bkazmer Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Because it wasn't designed as a convertible, the hoop was reinforcement when the top was chopped off. As a previous poster says, with only partial success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
