The first convertible hardtop that I know of was a 1957 or 58 Ford Fairlane 500. They are highly collectible today.

Hey, there have been hard-top convertibles for decades. My aunt had one when I was a kid. Recently they've made a comeback due to increased safety and ruggedness. Apparently there are even hard-top convertible trucks and SUVs, although I've never seen one.
