agree  Eleanore Strauss: sunroof is the more contemporary word, used to be termed sliding roof. I use this term almost daily
24 mins
  -> all sliding roofs open, not all sunroofs do - dunno about Golde
agree  jccantrell: Learn something new every day. Had one on my Mercury Capri in 74, great option. Cranked open like a window. ---- I wish :(
1 hr
  -> you mean your grandfather's Capri :-)
agree  Darin Fitzpatrick: I used to work for Rockwell-Golde and built these at a plant in Frankfurt. Herr Golde was the gentleman who founded the company, building buggy roofs in the 1880s.
