Mitsubishi ecilpse spyder
Today i am going to talk about convertibles.
What is a convertible? A convertible is a car body style that has a foldable or retractable roof, when the roof is folded down or retracted, it becomes a car that only has the windshield on its body. An example is the mitsubishi eclipse spyder.(above)
History:
In the vintage car era, the convertible was the default body style. It was not until 1910 that Cadillac introduced the first closed-body car. A combination of weak engines and public expectation that a car was analogous to a wagon meant that steel roofs were not in demand until then.
During the 1950s and 1960s, convertibles were available from automakers in the U.S. in a broad variety of models and trim levels. Most often they were the prestige models in their respective line, such as the Packard Caribbean, Oldsmobile 98, or the Imperial by Chrysler. However, economical versions in compact sizes were also popular, including the Rambler American and the Studebaker Lark.
Here are more examples of convertibles:
