No comments on the car audio company choosing a convertible as their showcase vehicle of the future?

From the single picture I'd have guessed gull-wing T-top.

If it were ever made into a real car, then yes I agree something like the Bradley GT. Warning, the Bradley GT hotlink video is FACEBOOK!
When is a T-top or Targa considered a convertible other than on the vehicle registration, right?
Some more shots.
1986, well they did get close to many cars today +30 years later interior display-wise.
I suppose the whole point was to view into the car, and not get inside and listen to the stereo.

There must be some line between T-top and gullwing/butterfly doors.

If you Google some Bradley GT images, the removable gullwings may lead you to think they were one and the same, at least they were on that car.
Were they doors or side windows, doors or t-top............everything was so hazy back then.

The average Joe still seems to be quite impressed by whatever aerospacial stuff is mentioned. I studied aircraft maintenance, and once in a while I see people being quite surprised when they find out how technically austere some aircraft are. |

The most beloved airplane in America is the piper cub originally designed in late 1930

It's tail-dragger box construction still influences pilot's Overton Window today.

In case you're curious about the British royalty's vehicular holdings, a review by Mark Felton.

Brazilian mid-'90s medium-duty Ford F-Series, with the Brazilian-specific aerodynamic cowl. They're a dying breed...
