Two things..

First, I have converted my 245 into more or less a camper by removing the back seat and replacing it with a wood deck. The deck has a hinged opening. With the back seat gone there is now a LOT of storage space underneath the deck (where the folded seat used to be). That leaves lots of room for a bed and stuff in the back. Doesn't give more air flow like a pop-top would but I've been using it happily for years.

Second, back in the early 90's I saw a 145 wagon that had been converted to an extended top, sort of like the hearse factory wagon but with a storage tray/bin over the front seats. ??? The car had a custom metallic orange paint job too. Quite a ride! Looked like the top was a cast fiberglass add on...Never met the driver and never did figure out who made the top. Again, not a pop-top but a neat camper conversion. Always wondered who did the conversion, what company made the top and if they made them for 245's.
