The convertible - fun on four wheels
A convertible (short for cabriolet) is a car with an open top, that is, a vehicle whose roof can be opened. Unlike many other cars, convertibles are not designed for functionality alone. The ability to drive with the roof down offers an unparalleled driving experience, which is why these classes of vehicles enjoy unwavering popularity. Most of the first cars were built without a top as standard. In later years, as engines became more powerful and bodies were increasingly made of steel, manufacturers began to equip their cars mostly with soft tops. From then on, convertibles became more and more like luxury cars.
Although inexpensive convertibles are now available, convertible series are produced in much lower numbers than cars with fixed tops. Often manufacturers do not produce their cars as convertibles themselves, instead other companies take over this task.
convertible - an idea with many variants
Even though convertibles have become rarer than they were at the beginning of the automotive age, true fans know exactly what they have in their unusual vehicle. The number of variants is as great as the fun of taking these cars for a spin. First of all, there is the question of the right roof. There are both hardtop convertibles with a fixed top and convertibles with a fabric roof. You often see these fabric tops on classic cars in particular. Convertibles with automatic opening and closing tops are often criticized for the fact that the roof takes up a lot of space in the trunk. Convertible classic cars, for example, do not have this problem with their manually folding external fabric roofs. Besides the choice of different soft tops, there is still the decision for the right manufacturer and the right model.
