Default Galpin Mustang with convertible hardtop

You guys might have seen this car before, but here's new pictures of the car and a video of the top going up:

What do you guys think of it? The designer of the roof system is going to try and sell them to Mustang owners.

A for effort but the roof line is all sorts of ugly. Kills the whole side profile of the car imo

Same here. I like the idea of having a convertible but they always ruin the look of the cars for me. One of the few things I wouldnt mind in a convertible would be a miata, but those come with hard tops too

The rear deck now looks like the flight deck on an aircraft carrier. You could land a C-130 on that sucker now!!! Nice idea, not very well planned or executed. If they could have moved the rear portion back futher it would help, but not by much. I'll keep my solid roofed coupe and roll the windows down.

For some reason I like it... makes it look a bit smaller. But still not as sexy as the coupe's roofline

Count me as one of the minority but I really like it and I'm not someone who has generally liked Galpins other editoins.

not the best roofline and not really a feasable aftermarket option for the 15k+ price tag imo.

i like the idea in general, might be better if its incorporated in the original design in the first place.
