T-Tops
T-Tops were a popular car feature in the ’80s. These removable glass roofs were innovated by GM. The roof panels were most prominent on the Camaro and the Firebird. It allowed the driver to have the open-air feeling of a convertible without the need for a fully removable top. These days we have panoramic sunroofs and moonroofs, but back in the day, the T-Top was the only option for something like that. The T-Top gave an entirely new generation of drivers something to yearn for and it defined the way that the sports cars looked (via RK Motors).
Other automakers eventually caught on as well, and you had Nissans and other makes featuring T-Tops too. But it was GM and the original Pony cars that brought the T-Tops to the market. There was just something so unique about the T-Top systems that drivers couldn’t resist it.
