    I used a mid 80's Buick Regal. Had the right curvature throughout. Check it carefully first though... this was a few years ago so my memory may be fuzzy

    I used a Chevy Astro van, long wheel base, so there is enough room before the ugly roof vent bulge. Worked well. Don't know what year, owner supplied it.

    Take a large piece of cardboard and trace the roof profile from front to back on one side and from left to right on the other side Go to the junk yard placing it on roofs.What ever has the least amount of light showing through that is the roof you want. Worked many times for me.
