Yes, Encyclopedia Hoonatica is still with us, it’s just been laying low. The Rumor Mill says that it’s being deliberately kept down by The Man (who wants to repress the propagation of Hoonistic lore in the name of decency and social order fiendish, power-mad tyranny). So, to avoid mass laptop bonfires in the streets, we’ll keep the torch lit by sneaking it in here every once in a while on the hush-hush, on the down-low, on the sly.
It’s frighteningly similar to the way The Man has tried to keep all those futuristic bubble-top concept cars out of our driveways and garages*. For decades, manufacturers hinted that they were just around the corner, but like the oft-rumored 200 MPG carburetor, they never quite materialized en masse on the showroom floor. Yet, a bold few have dared to stare down The Man through a huge plexiglass pimple. We celebrate these defenders of vehicular wierdness! In their honor, your Encyclo-Challenge is to name all the bubble-top cars you can.

To be “clear” (pun intended), these are not bubble-shaped roofs, but totally transparent roofs (aka “rooves” to those of you in the Northeast). Unlike most E-H entries, we’re not just interested in production cars here. The two road cars in the lead image are probably the lowest hanging fruit, and I can think of only two other mass-produced examples, which would make for a pretty boring comment stream. So — racers, concept cars, one-off customs — bring ’em all to our giant orgy of lexan and compound curves!
*The fact that they were hellishly hot and uncomfortable in the sun had absolutely nothing to do with it.
