I had taken my '69 Beetle convertible apart a few weeks ago to do some touch-up painting on the front quarter panels and the front apron. I got to put it back together today. It was so nice to be able to take it out for a spin.
Purchased new but front end problems that could not be resolved (wobbling like mad) so traded on a 1967 Pontiac four-door Lemans. Wish I had both today.
Spotted in the corner of a car sales site in Ipswich.
Another TR7 in the same yard, Maybe a pair of Part X's?, This one hasn't been taxed since 12/2008.
Here's a snazzy red Volkswagen convertible with matching wheels. A 1964 model, it features a beige ragtop.
In 1964, all VW Beetles gained horns operated by a thumb bar as well as an enlarged license plate light.
1962 Ford Thunderbird Convertible
Chassis No. 2Y85Z103938
Evoking the mythological creature of Indigenous peoples of North America, the Thunderbird entered production for the 1955 model year as a sporty two-seat convertible. Unlike the Chevrolet Corvette, it was not marketed as a sports car. Rather, Ford created a new market segment, the Personal Luxury Car.
Third generation (1961–1963): The Thunderbird was redesigned for 1961 with sleeker styling that gave the car a distinctively bullet-like appearance. A new engine, the 390 cu in (6.4 L) FE V8, was the standard and only engine initially offered in the Thunderbird. The V8 produced 300 horsepower and was mated to a 3-speed automatic transmission. The new Thunderbird was immediately well received with 73,051 sold for 1961. The car was 1961's Indianapolis 500 pace car and was featured prominently in US President John F. Kennedy's inaugural parade, probably helped along by the appointment of Ford executive Robert McNamara as Secretary of Defense.
A vinyl-roofed Landau option with simulated S-bars was added to the Thunderbird for 1962 as was a Sports Roadster package for convertible models. The Sports Roadster included 48-spoke Kelsey Hayes-designed wire wheels and a special fiberglass tonneau cover for the rear seats which gave the car the appearance of a two-seat roadster like the original Thunderbird.
2Y85Z103938: This iconic American convertible presents well with an older cosmetic restoration and recent mechanical overhaul. Finished in the original Corinthian White and red vinyl color combination, this 3-owner vehicle is a fantastic example of a quality driver. Although not an original Sports Roadster, this T-Bird mimics a roadster very well with its wire wheels and removable fiberglass tonneau cover. The radio and all electronics on the car work flawlessly, including the complex convertible top and trunk!
Showing only 33,853 recorded miles, the car has been well cared for throughout its life. Recent services include: Oil change and tune up, new brakes, rebuilt carburetor, replaced original radiator core, new radial tires, transmission adjustment, and a 100-point mechanical and safety inspection. The T-Bird drives and tracks smoothly, while the engine starts right up every time.
* Desirable American classic!
* Less than 35,000 original miles!
* Recent mechanical overhaul!
* A three-owner example!
Only: $39,500.00!!

This 1957 Ford convertible is one of the 1,929 cars which participated in the Atlantic Nationals car show in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada from July 7 to July 10, 2011. The car is from Miramichi, New Brunswick.
That shine is coming!!
However with dings and marks the whole car has a few red oxide areas now which probably means a complete respray is required (one day!)
Elegant first generation Buick Skylark Convertible as modelled by Matchbox and now on its third version. Its a shame cost cutting means no rear detailing as it could really do with some but that luxury has been sacrificed for front and side tampo.
Still, its one beautifully executed budget toy car which thankfully gets, and keeps, plenty of chrome.
One of a few found recently in various French Action stores as part of 2023 Case G.
Mint and boxed.
According to wikipedia convertibles only became available in 1969, and the hidden headlamps vanished in 1971, so I am pretty sure about the date.
