This one should be fun.

What vehicle/vehicles were available off the show room floor with both a drop top and a glass sunroof.

Not either or this vehicle had both a drop top and a sunroof.

Hint. It had a pretty memorable commercial back in the day that some here may remember.

To clarify. The vehicle/vehicles (there is more than one) had both a soft top and a glass sunroof at the same time. No swapping of tops/targas.

I’m thinking Lexus, but I can’t prove it.

I don't know. but Chevy didn't make a 327 in '55. The 327 didn't come out til '62. And it wasn't offered in the Bellaire with the 4-barrel carburetor til '64. However, in 1964 the correct ignition timing would be 4 degrees before top dead center.

I’m surprised someone hasn’t gotten it yet.

Soft top or retractible hard top?

It’s not a Lexus, Beetle or Fiero. Though the beetle did have a cloth sunroof that was pretty big.

Believe that some 2000's Mercedes SL's came with a retractable hard top with a sunroof, called it the Magic Sky Roof

An EOS comes to mind, although I'd be happier if I had an ACR instead.

All SLK/SLC are retractable hard tops.

The Mini Convertible was a soft top convertible with a 'sunroof' but not glass.

You guys give up?

Last hint. They had a sing along song /commercial where the vehicle was one of the lyrics that repeated over and over.

I can’t believe it hasn’t been solved yet. It is a somewhat obscure vehicle now that you still occasionally see but not often.
