EDAG, a German automobile supply company, proposed a hardtop for the Pontiac Solstice Convertible. The Solstice is an entertaining sports car, but many wanted a removable hardtop. EGAG proposed a station wagon-like unit, which replaced the rear deck, and which recalled the Chevy Nomad concept that was shown by GM in 2004.

A similar removable hardtop was proposed for the Saturn Sky.

The hardtop would provide "winterized comfort," and if you removed the convertible top, increased storage in a car that was seriously lacking in storage space.

The Solstice hardtop was produced in small numbers.

Unique Attributes

The "sports wagon" concept gives some utility, like the Volvo 1800ES of the early 1970s.

Criticisms

It is not certain that the hardtop was ever produced

Worldwide

The similar Opel GT would probably have been able to use the proposed unit for the Saturn Sky, as the cars are virtually identical.
