Great idea and super photoshop work! From the third photo it looks like your idea is to have a frame that could stay in place with a soft cover that could be removed and stowed for carrying oversize loads. In my part of the country trucks outnumber cars and this would save fuel on the highway if people would adopt this idea. I hope it catches on.
