Red Volkswagen with a Carson top at the 2010 Volksfest, South Australia

A Carson top is a one-piece, padded, upholstered, removable top for a car. The design was invented by Bob Houser in 1935 when he worked for Amos Carson at Carson Top Shop in Los Angeles. The first Carson top was likely made for a Ford Model A convertible and nowadays it is mostly used on hot rods and customs.
