I worked at a Ford dealership in the fifty's and remember when Ford came out
with the 1957 hardtop convertible. I remember them being troublesome! They
weren't the first. I think there were a few in the 30's. I've got a '78
International Traveler convertible - the whole top unbolted. I rigged a rope
and pulley system in the garage to facilitate easy removal of that very
heavy plastic top. Still have that vehicle. It's a great caver car!

I see they have a folding sheath knife. Uh, kind of defeats the idea of a

I want my convertible hard top.
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. Check out
