Not a fan of contemporary cars seats in an older car when they don't redo all the seats so they match. Stock black vinyl rear seat and light gray Honda bucket seats in the front is not a great look on an old car interior.
Also, nobody does this much these days, but I've seen a number of older cars/trucks where people have cut a big hole in the roof for a 70's sunroof. I still see this on El Caminos and Rancheros around here for some reason.

Ooops I probably shouldn't have sawed a huge hole in the perfectly good roof of this 70 Charger R/T!
You all keep adding, my % of doing all those things you guys call dumb things to MY vehicles is adding up fast! I might have to buy another car to get them all accomplished. Soon I should have most of you pizzed off.

I like it, and it HAD to be MUCH better done than ASC did it. Go to 10 seconds in the video. Damn it, I just HAD to see that damnable commercial again, now I want to go to the Dodge dealer and see how they'll trade for a '69 Charger RT/SE. Maybe I'll be able to afford the white hat special?
I certainly do not like sunroofs that leak or make wind noise.
I have a nephew who suffered more than $5000 in damage to the dash instruments from a closed but leaking BMW sunroof..
I guess a sunroof is a somewhat safer way to transport a surf board. Long ago I knew a guy who died in an auto accident where he was transporting a surf board out a side window. Left a wife and children. Parents owned The Courier Journal newspaper in Louisville, and mourned their son’s death until their own deaths.
Met a girl in Newcastle who drove a 2CV and used it like a small truck to move large beds, cabinets, bookcases, etc. Until I witnessed that firsthand I thought the canvas roof inferior. Always laugh when I see the James Bond 2CV chase through the hilly olive grove. Even better than the Lotus submarine.
I later read that Ferdinand Porsche designed the 2CV while in a French prison after WW2 for the war crime of using French prisoners of war in factories that made his misdesigned Nazi “supertank” which helpfully sucked up steel, skilled labor, and other scarce supplies - even delaying the important Kursk battle, giving the Soviets time to improve defenses.

76 Cutlass I had back in 1982 great car and comfortable but the “ T “ tops always leaked
My 1980 Mirada did too. One of the worst mistakes I ever made was getting the dealer to "fix" the leak, multiple times. If there was a rubber hammer in that dealership, no anvil was safe.
