I like to see them and look at them, think they are cool but can't say I'd want one on my car?

I personally think that they are one very cool feature, and i would have one myself as long as it was the right combo, i really like Steve Juliano's Hemi `Cuda Mod Top, it is a nice color combo itself. :2thumbs:

No thank  you. They remind me too much of my Grandparents patio furniture from the same era.

 :iagree:  the yellow mod-top is almost spot-on to the wallpaper that was in my Grandmother's kitchen :eek4:

 :iagree:  I love different colored interiors or color combos- roof, stripe etc. but not sure I`d want to drive around with flowers on my car.

I was supposed to be re-assembling the only known Mod-Top Daytona, but the owner has taken a different direction with the restoration....It's getting done and should be out in 2014... :clapping:

I would love to see a mod top Daytona, just to say I have. I'd also love to see an FY4 AAR Cuda because it was an option, but I don't think anyone chose that color/none were made
