in all fairness, despite perhaps being of historical value, it is a car, and roofracks are there for when you run out out booth space. from the looks of it they seem to be on some sort of roadtrip, or perhaps an oldtimer ralley,

if they're makeing a trip with other oldtimers on bad roads the guy beind them sure would appreciate these mudflaps keeping stones from being cast in has 1930's chrome grill or windshield. and since they might have packed all their gear in the booth, the only place to put those tires would be on the roof!

there's no shame in roofracks as long as you're carying something with them!
they seem to be useing the car as a normal car, wich is sort of what if was build for.

its better to screw the aerodynamics of your car once a year when you need to cary something big, that to drive a pickup with screwed aerodynamics all year to cary something big once a year.

still as an image it's pretty funny for those who know what they're looking at.
