@perrone1 The technology is very similar to that of a Puegeot Transportable from the mid thirties.

.... I never thought about, but yeah..... my 1:1 Sebring has the same set-up - folding top, reverse trunk, etc...    Sure wish there was a model of it; just to have it (not to show off ).

@chris Got mine in 2007, so it came out between 2004 and 2007 sometime. Would you believe I once had to repair that top? That was excruciating.
