Thule, Yakima and Inno all make kits designed for two door cars. In my experience, THULE is the best for MOST vehicles. However with short roof adapters (yakima calls them "stretch kits" there is usually one that is best for each type of car. Usually if you go to a rack shop people will know which one works best.

then again, with a car that old your options might be very limited. I would try to see if there is a fit for the THULE 400xt system with the 477 Short Roof Adapter.
