Roadster Concept

[65TBSteve]

Has anyone heard if Ford will make the roadster tonneau shown at the 2001 auto shows available or as a separate model later on in the production?

So here I am 18 years later asking, on this concept, did they have a way to put up and down the top or was the tonneau covering where the stock top is located? Maybe someone saw the car at the auction and can tell us if it's feasible to buy the '62 sport Roadster tonneau and cut it down to fit the 2002 production car? I don't think it will be as dramatic, though, as the '62-63 rear deck looks miles longer.

Roadster tonneau on my '03. Manually installed. Found it on Ebay, already painted by previous owner.
