Talk:American Specialty Cars

What did ASC invent?

ASC invended the glass-panel "moonroof", both inward- and outward-folding soft convertible tops, and modern retractable hardtops. If this is supposed to be invented, I nonetheless still find it hard to believe—wasn't this company founded in 1965? Surely there is evidence of older moonroofs, and it's obvious that convertible tops are older. --Milkmandan 15:30, 2004 Dec 22 (UTC)

ASC claims to have invented these things on their web site. I'd be happy to see it proved wrong, though. --SFoskett 17:00, Dec 22, 2004 (UTC)

ASC did not invent the convertible, but DID invent and patent the inward-folding convertible top. This is a technique for packaging a top more efficiently, allowing convertibles to be used across a wider spectrum of vehicles. I think you'll find that, although solid panel sunroofs predated ASC, their invention of the movable glass panel (commonly referred to as the "moonroof") was a much more desirable option and resulted in overwhelming consumer demand.CarNut 19:54, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
