Reply to "hardtop for 356 vintage speedster"

@Stan Galat That one does look very nice, doesn't it?  Doesn't have that "lumpy" look that some of the others do.

Yep - it looks really sweet - like a chop-top coupe, rather than a speedster with a hemorrhoid on top (like most of the Plasticon-copy tops we get here). I think it's the shape of the windows, as much as anything. I would imagine the car is not very roomy inside with the top on, but they aren't a practical proposition to start with.

I'll never understand why the hardtops all bend so hard toward practicality. It's not like any of us said, "why there's a practical and sensible conveyance" when we first saw a speedster. Sometimes, you have to give up a bit of practicality to get something truly beautiful.

Remember the immortal words of Fernando, "It's better to look good than to feel good. And you look mahvalous, dahling!".
