RE: Reference Sources-"Starlift" |

The "Starlift" was actually a BOLT-ON Starliner roof assembly on a 1962 Sunliner (convertible). It was meant to be taken on/off so that the convertible feature could still be used.
This concept was actually a ploy by FOMOCO to legalize a fastback for Grand National Racing. NO production vehicles were offered by FOMOCO. Three such vehicles were assembled by Holman-Moody for stock car racing. They competed in only one event-The Atlanta 500 (Spring 1962) and then were banned by NASCAR as it wasn't considered a production vehicle.
