Automobile roof

An automobile roof or car top is the portion of an automobile that sits above the passenger compartment, protecting the vehicle occupants from sun, wind, rain, and other external elements. Because the earliest automobiles were designed in an era of horse-drawn carriages, early automobile roofs used similar materials and designs.

Variations

In later years, many variations on the automobile roof developed. These include:

gollark: Can someone else confirm? Do I have to unundo it?
gollark: I said the time wrong, but I don't think it was used in the 4 hours up to then.
gollark: Wait a minute, I rechecked this, and I think mine 0 actually *was* used correctly?
gollark: I think I *can* mine fuel in all my mines right now, though.
gollark: Well, they can ASK.
