I kinda want to see what the wind would look like on this thing going 60 (96.5 km/h). I suspect you’d get more lift than is comfortable. And speaking as someone who’s had turbulence in a modern car (interstate driving into an Illinois windstorm), it’s terrifying even in a car that doesn’t want to roll over.
Edit: seriously thought about it and am more concerned about the moment/torque it might get from the wind
Those older cars with the huge windows and great visibility handled rollover accidents by crushing the heads and necks of everyone inside.
At some point we decided the passenger cabin shouldn’t be the primary crumple zone, so you can’t make cars like that anymore.
Also, it probably has a top speed in the neighborhood of 30mph.
You wouldn’t want to go 30 in that thing. You’d feel like you’re in a rock tumbler.

I own a Wrangler…
Especially given the state of the roads at the time.
Assuming you’ve even got a road lol
The low speed may have been that car’s only safety feature.
