 Has any of you ever seen the scene where Selleck actually takes the top off once and for all ? I saw a load of reruns here in Montréal last fall. It must have been the very first show. Here is how he did it: He sort of drove away with the car (with the top on)  from the house where he lived with the owner (forgot his name in the show) screaming at Selleck to come back.
 
He gets on the street, stops, the camera is on the passenger side, Selleck looks at the camera, smiles and SLIDES, YES SLIDES the top backward with his 2 hands and the top disappeared. Never to be seen again. He drove away spinning his wheels on the grass. It's also part of the opening sequence of each show.
 
I replayed that seen many many times to try  to understand where the top went. He's sitting behind the wheel and slides the top. I thought it was a big mistake. It's just plain impossible. The top would have ended on the engine cover.
 
From Snowy Montréal!

The bottom of the seat was removed. His eyes were level with the roof otherwise.

Seat was probably replaced after the show.

There were several cars used in the show. A camera car for action scenes and a close up one for beauty shots. This looks like one of those cars.

Might have had more of them in the later years.

I thought the drivers seat was fixed to the floor to accommodate Tom's height? They claim it is stock.

Was the estimate established in an Amsterdam coffee shop?
