1980 Ford Mustang "Carriage Roof"


    Although better, the "80's" Mustang that debuted in 1979 was better than the Pinto-Mustang. Although it was still pretty ugly during the first few years of it's life, especially in notchback coupe form.

    In 1980, a true fugly option debuted, called the "Carriage Roof". I'm kind of confused about what it actually is though. It sorta looks like those lame velour/vinyl fake convertable tops. But read this caption: "A carriage roof was a $625 option that gave the car a convertible look when the top was up, though a Mustang convertible wouldn't be offered until 1983."

    Was this actually a fabric top you put on overtop of the hardtop?? If so, that is the stupidest thing I have ever seen.
