Ever wondered how the convertible found its way into the world? To begin with, cars were all built without tops, as they were modelled on the horse and carriage arrangement. 1910 saw the first closed top vehicle produced. The first truly retractable hardtop on a car was seen in 1922, while Peugeot created the first power-operated hardtop in 1934. In 1941, the Chrysler Thunderbolt presented another version of a convertible car.
Convertibles are known by a number of names, including a two seater roadster, a cabriolet, a tourer, a ragtop, a droptop and a drophead coupe. Since the 1940s, more and more makes and models of convertibles have been produced. They were especially popular throughout the 1960s.
These days, you can now drive a wide range of convertibles for different purposes – convertible Range Rovers for cross-country expeditions, racy sports convertibles, and even small convertible cars for better fuel efficiency.
