He's a little off base with his information. There were no Novas or Acadians built in Canada after 1967. They were all built in the U.S. and exported for sale north of the border.

I believe Ford coined the name "Moonroof" for the Lincoln.

Yes, you are correct ( in the 70's not 80's) and it was a glass unit as compared to previously common opaque units.

Production seems higher than you'd expect?.

These weren't popular here in snow country although I remember seeing a Buick SunCoupe once..

Did any other A-Body cars besides the Buick Skylark SunCoupes ever get these roofs?.

Below is the '72 Nova SkyRoof production by color...same 6822 total as noted above..
