Yup, answered it yourself. From the NPC standpoint it's now unsafe, you can't see in traffic, it's dangerous in rain, harder to get in and out of, has less space (doesn't matter if it's the opposite, NPC mindset), and worst of all, it's going to look like a wagon? Wagons give the majority of new car buyers the ick.

Interchangeable roofs, on the other hand, solve this issue. We had the Pulsar before that actually was sold with various roof options, but I personally like the Mercedes VRC that was never anything but a concept. Pickup bed? Convertible? Coupe? Wagon? Yes. Good luck meeting regulations when attempting to make it a body on frame vehicle with truck-like construction (to be legally sold as a car), however.

Older American cars were in many ways trucks. You want body on frame, a V8, bench seats and the capability to tow multiple tons? Okay - but I'm not thinking about a truck - I'm thinking of the Crown Victoria and every single similar older American car like it.
Ever seen that bulky-looking Cadillac limo the recent US presidents have all ridden in? It's a truck with a limo body and a sedan truck grafted on. Ever seen those big, old Soviet-era black luxury sedans like the ZIL? Basically heavy duty trucks with sedan bodies thrown on as well.
I think RR Phantom-sized, high end luxury sedans could work coming from a truck chassis, but definitely not in the weird pop-top way OP may be thinking.
