What Kind of Pickup Top is This?
'67 sort of station wagon (limestone), '65 gray hardtop, '63 blue Station Wagon, '64 limestone station wagon in piecesTags: None -
apology for the hijack...
From the ad:
...and has 2 highly desirable factory options: the safari roof, & 2 speed fairey overdrive.
Very nice looking truck. I'd actually like to have any truck cab if anyone is looking to get rid of one...

A) the four vents in a normal trop top face forward, so, at speed, you should receive a bit of a 'ram air' effect from air being channeled under under the sunshield
B) It helps keep out direct rain infiltration while having the vents open
C) the sunshield acts as a second skin: even sitting still, it 'provides a bit of shade' for the underlying roof, helps keep the vehicle a little bit cooler-L

Hey Leslie,
I'm in Cleveland (past Knoxville near Chattanooga) and I remember that rover at the Knoxville dealership. It was beautiful! I have not seen it in a few years...do you know what happened to it?
On a side note: Are you heading to URE?

It's been awhile, but they may have ebay'd it, if I correctly remember.
At ETSU, my daughter's roommate is from Cleveland... and the roommate's twin sister is in the next dorm room.
I used to go to the Uwharrie Safari every spring and MAR every fall, but, I've not been to either the past few years. Been mullin' over goin' to something soon.... just might have to mosey over to the URE..... I dunno, we'll see....-L

Sorry to hijack, but I see that there's a pretty good east Tennessee Contingent on this forum. I'm from Chattanooga, but am currently at Clemson for school. I'm seriously debating heading up to the URE this fall, if the rover is feeling well enough to make the trip.Comment

Yeah, I might be hijacking it as well...
I know that me and Steven (the guy with the Zebra Disco) will be there.
You guys should head on over there!

But to post something about the top. Bill at TNTLR might still have some of these tops. I know that he has a lot of things stuck around the place.
