Sloping decklid was not really conducive to aerodynamic efficiency either. Not properly visible here is the wrapped rear window (hidden under a non-original fiberglass louver).
The profile of the roofline was not dissimilar to the 1977-9 Chevrolet Impala and Caprice coupes (USA), though no fancy creased glass was used here. Creased "basket handle" at the rear of the roof was highlighted in the Plymouth Sapporo with contrasting vinyl forward of the crease, an attempt at creating a miniture Chrysler Cordoba, someone suggested.

Higher rear deckline is visible from this angle; the previous car's lid sloped down to just above the tops of the tailights (which were less distinctive too and could have been from a number of other '80's cars).

The roof is now flat and there are no longer horizontal vents on the C pillars (subtlely worked into the trailing edge of the rear side window.
