Funny story
So I was on the phone with lebaron and Bonney inquiring about top kits for my 34, I asked the young man if the "chicken wire" was part of the kit, he said no and said "do you know what the chicken wire is for" ? I said I think for extra support and the radio antenna? he said for goats! Ya Goats would get up on the roof and fall through! Merry Christmas Ken

Up here in Alaska we don’t have a big goat problem.
But if a moose gets on top of your car, WATCH OUT! |

Re: Funny story

Re: Funny story
I always thought it was to either keep the chickens out or in some parts of the country to keep them in. Coupes are for chickens. I have a roadster.

Re: Funny story
Back in '57 a bunch of us went out to a dairy farm north of Houston to visit with a mutual friend whose father owned it. We saw our friend out in the field rounding up the cows for milking so we crossed the fence to meet with him. When we returned one of the cows was feasting on the top of a brand new Thunderbird. The car was only a few days old and the owner was really upset. I never found out who paid for the damage.

Last time I asked for Chicken wire @ Lowes, I was informed it is now known as "Poultry" wire.

Re: Funny story
The word police are at it again. Whether it keeps in foul or rabbits out it's always going to be chicken wire to me.
