The Return of the American Convertible. Notice I didn't say 'Great' American Convertible.

Not an excuse for a wiggly chassis. There were also reports that the top didn't block out sound very well at highway speeds, which is fairly important for a cruiser. Trust me, I have nothing wrong with a cruiser. The Chrysler 200 can use the same excuse- the interior is now acceptable, it has a folding hard top, and its affordable. Still not where it should be, which will hopefully fixed in the next-gen when Chrysler actually has money to work with.

It wasn't supposed to be a racecar.

At the prices they were asking for them, it wasn't supposed to be a noodly piece of ****, either.

Speaking of these, I saw a 1974 Eldorado convertible today, it was in line behind me at the car wash, same color scheme as this one:

was at a car show recently and I saw one of these in person:


really looks cool in person, and definitely made me do a double-take

Great thread! Although I feel just a bit guilty for laughing at that mental image of Anne and her drums.

And I never looked at this brochure this way before, but...
Whereas the helmet was meant to imply that the car was sporty enough to require racing gear, it could also be taken to mean that without the safety of a steel top, this new car must always be driven with head protection.

My thoughts exactly.

I really like the Reatta and the Allante Convertibles.
I already have a Reatta, and when I move back to Calgary I would love to get an Allante as well.

I never understood why things like this existed:

What kills it for me is the "B-pillar" mounted seatbelts...TOTAL AFTER THOUGHT!

I'm in the minority, but I really like the SSR.

YOU SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH!

It was near a truck, roadster, or Sunday family car. TOTAL FAIL!
