      Which is why these things never go into production. If you follow concept cars, you’ll see this sort of glass roof idea pop up all the time. Nobody will ever make one because it’s functionally a solar oven.

      One exception that did make it to production is the Peel Trident. It’s still an oven, though.

      Did cars even have air conditioning back then?

        1930 – The “car cooler” uses the evaporation of water (rather than your own sweat) to cool air, which is then blown in through the open passenger-side window. Though it’s the first item to actually lower the air temperature, it only works in areas with very low humidity – and it looks like you have a vacuum cleaner strapped to the side of your car.

          They were pretty innovative back then!

            Nothing speeds innovation like having one’s balls stuck to one’s leg.

              ok guys… Option “A” is castration. I don’t care how elaborate option “B” is, but we’re going with that!

          I’d expect this can to be above upper class models though LOL

      65° on a clear day would be bad enough.

      I’ve had cars with a sunroof, and on clear days it could be hot as hell even at lower temps.
