Classic Ford Retractable.
Here's a 1959 Ford Retractable on show in the American car section at Tatton Park. The power roof on this model was a real work of engineering art - many motors have to work in synch with each other for the roof to open and close correctly.
Ford Books Whether for the Retractable as shown below, or any other type of Ford, it is worth having a look on Amazon for books, DVDs, Videos etc.

Retractable on display at Tatton Park, Cheshire.
If you have any more info or restoration stories about this particular Retractable, or Retractables in general, I'd really like to feature it on oldclassiccar.
I took all these photos at the classic & vintage show held at Tatton Park, in June 2005. The Ford shown above was one of several hundred vehicles held in the grounds of this National Trust property.
