When A/C was still restricted to higher-end vehicles, white roofs were extremely popular in some overseas markets, from Central and South America to Africa and Southeast Asia.
Even the DKW range, developed in Germany, had to get into the trend when it was made in Brazil. It's almost impossible to find a Brazilian DKW which didn't have a white roof...
Sometimes I wonder if this trend could come back...
