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.

gollark: Not really. Reasonably free exchange doesn't have that issue.
gollark: You now have to devote a *lot* of resources from stopping people from trying to trade with each other.
