Abstract: A passenger vehicle is equipped with a hard top that is selectively movable between up and storage modes, being mounted on a pair of transversely alined posts that project upwardly from opposite sides of the vehicle to upper end portions that provide pivots alined on a transverse axis appreciably above the belt line of the vehicle and just forwardly of a fore portion of a closed rear deck. The top is an L-shaped structure having a roof and right and left legs rigid with the roof and mounted on the pivots so that the roof is capable of 180.degree. inversion from an up mode in which roof overlies the passenger compartment to a storage mode in which the roof overlies the rear deck.
