1957 Cadillac convertible, 2010 National Round Engine Exhibition, Front Range Airport, Watkins, CO, 11 September 2010.
The 450 was created on the chassis of the 440 Spartak model, which got a roadster body and an engine tuned to 50 HP - the name means 4 cylinders and 50 horse powers. It had its flaws (questionable body toughness, low quality textile roof), but also was very light and speedy. After the Spartak was replaced by the Octavia, the roadsters were built on the new chassis and renamed Felicia. The 450 was produced only for a short period of time, 1000 were made, and today it´s a very rare and expensive classic. Most were exported, some even to the US, where they were called Skoda America Convertible. This car has the look from promotion pictures made in 1957 for an US importer, where it poses together with Miss USA Charlotte Sheffield - there were big plans for the US market, but the frst order of 15000 cars catched the factory by surprise, being far outside their production capacity. In the end some 400 roadsters were sold in the US.

Chevy's first "intermediate", the Chevelle, arrived for the 1964 model year. In other words (and not to be excessively morbid about it), the car shown here was current at the time JFK was assassinated.
This is a 1981 Global Coach/Innsbrook Manufacturing Chrysler Cordoba. They made about 200 between the Cordoba, Mirada and Imperial. And obviously, this is a real convertible. And I'm willing to bet it's one of the nicest ones left.
Here is another Touring Coupe convertible. I guess more were made than figure of 5 or so that has been floating around.

Packard's success in the Classic era was built upon the Standard Eight models built from 1924 -1931. The 745 models sat upon a long 145 inch wheelbase and were excellent cars to receive custom coachwork.
This Packard had special coachwork by the renowned designer Raymond Dietrich. It can be noted that any Packard designed by Ray Dietrich would elevate the price of the car substantially. As an automobile designer, Ray Detrich would often state, "I want to be to the automobile like an architect is to a building". This truly was a time when "classic coachwork" was entering a new era.
The Seventh Series Model 745 Packard was introduced in August 1929. The Seventh Series Packard's were the last to use the piano spoke wire wheels which gave it that true classic look. These 745 models were truly elegant cars and, as one might imagine, they catered to the wealthy who wished only the finest in automobile design and innovation.
