Watched my local Memorial Day parade yesterday. Many queens and dignitaries riding on the back of convertibles waving to the crowd. Wonder how easy it would be to remove the back hatch section to allow the Elio to be a parade vehicle ? Any thoughts?

The only exposer would be for the rear deck, which is like the floor of a trunk. What you need is the optional glass roof that will probably be an option.

Good question! Mine will be removable for sure, like a targa top. Definitely with some quik-release pins or latches. I can see on those "perfect" days when there's no need for A/C or heat, dropping all the windows, popping off the back hatch, dropping the back seat (some type of strap on the back of the back seat to keep the hatch from moving around) and diggin' on the airflow.
