Convertibles
Convertibles (in the First Gear series) is a celebration of the classic
drop-top, from the earliest of coach cars where convertible style was
the norm, to the high-end sports cars of today. Todays convertible is a
metaphor for freedom on the open road. To drop the top and feel the wind
and sun and to be able to cover up again in rain and cold represents the
ultimate automotive luxury. From Fords Model T to sporty Jaguar
roadsters, from classic Chevys to modern Miatas, the convertible is a
body style that never goes out of style.
Convertibles profiles more than 60 cars in wonderful photographic
detail. Each car profile includes its history, performance specs,
trivia, and a color photo gallery. For the dedicated auto enthusiast or
the casual or budding fan, this book is an entertaining survey of the
greatest convertibles ever made.
