How adorable! Lucy and Desi in a Ford commercial! This was when the craftmanship was solid and the makers stood behind their products-didn't need 'warranties' back then!!

These cars were not "prone to failure". The mechanisms did have problems when the nut behind the wheel did not follow operating instructions, like stopping the action mid-way between up or down. These are very reliable, well engineered cars especially for 1957.

omg it takes ten thousand years for the roof to attach, it sounded like they were about to blast off.

awesome idea, although i know now why they were so prone to failure. here's what the top alone required to operate:10 power relays10 limit switches4 lock motors3 drive motors8 circuit breakers610 feet of electrical wire.

Awesome, you'd probably be done faster if you put the top up yourself, and I don't want to know how little it took for the mechanism to break down, but hey, we're all lazy. Still, it's really ridiculously slow to get up, it even made me laugh. Lucy and Ricky are funny though!
