It isn't a retracto, if that's what you meant. The metal roof on the Fords that retracted into the trunk. My older brother had a 1958.

When I went out to Frisco's East Bay to visit Fremont in 1970, I stopped to see a 'Nam buddy of mine. He took me to McDonalds and was amazed that I, being from the Houston area had never heard of them. He assured me that I soon would. Like WFOC, I don't care for their burgers, but have enjoyed an occasional Egg McMuffin, plus their coffee and fries have been exceptional. However, I can't remember the last time I ate at a McDonalds. I prefer Texas' own 'Whataburger.'

I can remember when it was ESSO and in Texas, Humble Oil. AMACO was also around, as well as Studebaker, Nash, Hudson ( I still have the auto clock from my uncle's '32 Hudson) and after WW II, the Kaiser-Frazier cars. Gasoline sold for 18 cents/gal...Sunoco was cheaper. I used to ride the streetcars to high school. I learned to drive on a '48 DeSoto w/ it's fluid drive transmission. Hell, I can recall attending the NY World's Fair in 1940!
Enough already!

In my car shed we have a 1959 Imperial Crown. This was before Chrysler bought Imperial. It has the 413. Unpainted stainless steel top and skirts. Chrome dash. Pushbutton automatic. My granddad bought it new. Runs good but needs some work...mostly cosmetic stuff.

Right here, lol. None around me that I know of...but it looks like some places use their burgers, as I do a google search.

I think White Castle was Crystal (or Krystal) at one time. We didn't have a subway in Jacksonville.
