Something interesting about ragtops...

I was looking around the store the other day, and I happened to notice a Herbie the Love Bug Hallmark ornament that was release this year. I noticed that they had a sliding rag top it. I thought... when did that movie first come out?

Well that movie was released in 1969. So they had a sliding rag top on that car in 1969!! I was impressed...

I thought sliding ragtops were sort of new...

Sorry, had to share this I know some of you will not be impressed but I thought it was interesting...

here is a pic (of a reproduction) but obviously they did it because they wanted it to look like it did in the movie...
