We've had some lovely weather in the last week or so, and as a result owners of convertibles have been taking full advantage.
The Chrysler Stratus Convertible was sold in Europe from 1996 until 2000. In North America it was called Chrysler Sebring. This one has an interesting red and black paint scheme.
Why build just one i8 if there is an option to build another one, but just make it convertible. So I did.
For those who didn't notice the first one - here's the album link: www.flickr.com/photos/the_rolic/albums/72157716803125113
And - what's best - it has instructions available now here: rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-57837/Rolic/bmw-i8/#details
As the title states - it features retractable roof (loosing the space for rear seats).
For those who saw my blue i8 - remember I used the rigid hose to shape the door window frame and door hinge at the same time. Obviously - I couldn't use the same technique here as there is no window frame from end-to-end. There's just a small triangle. But!!!! With the help of few bar pieces and droid arms I could achieve everything I thought was impossible.
So I hope you like this one as much as I do. Let me know :)
In the exciting build up to Die Another Day’s finale, Zao and James Bond engage in a deadly duel on the ice with two evenly matched, fully tooled machines — 007’s Aston Martin V12 Vanquish versus Zao’s lethal Jaguar XKR, going head to head on a frozen lake while glaciers loom behind.
At the time of filming, the Ford Motor Company owned Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo among others, allowing the Bond producers their pick. They opted for the production line model XKR, with its supercharged, 400bhp engine, as the villain’s vehicle. Rather impractically for a vehicle used in Iceland, Zao’s splendidly finished XKR is a convertible.
This 2002-built, metallic green, 4-litre V8, 155mph Jaguar XKR is now on display at the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu.
Except for the Rolls Royce Ghost, all exotics in this shot are convertibles. One of them is the Ferrari 458 Spider, the other two are the Bentley Continental GTC and Audi R8 V10 Spyder. Unfortunately, all their roofs were closed because of the rain pooring down in Monaco.

Too bad we couldn't have parked the two red & white '57 convertibles (1 Ford - 1 Chevy) side by side at this show, but it didn't work out that way. At the Hennepin, Illinois Car Show, July 4, 2015.

Taken with my digital Fujifilm X20
It's a nice, clean resto-mod. I like that the wheel color and upholstery match and the thin stripes in the grille bars do as well! The bright trim rings and hub caps are a perfect visual complement.
2020 Lamborghini Aventador 6.5-litre two-seat convertible 26DJ at Prescott Italia, Gloucestershire, on 9 May 2026.
Taken with a Nikon D800 using a Fotodiox 4x5 adapter on a Horseman L45 with a Schneider 210mm G-Claron f/9 lens @ f/22.
This was a test shot as I'm seeing what I can do with this setup for Macro Photography. I used a bit of front tilt to bring the lettering on the Shutter mostly into focus.
I'm told my Grandfather was planning to use this lens to build an enlarger. It's a Triple-convertible Wollensak lens in a Conley Safety Shutter. Depending on how the elements were arranged it could be an 8", 14", or 18" lens. Based on some info I was able to find the coverage is probably somewhere around 5x8, so it won't work for my 8x10 cameras, but might work for my 4x5 cameras. The lensboard it is on is rather interesting, as it's in a wooden lensboard, which in turn is in rather fancy cardboard lensboard to convert it for use in a different size camera. This is the only time I've ever seen a cardboard lensboard.
Isn't she lovely, isn't she beautiful? 1973 Pontiac Grandville convertible. It's bulb flower season, the classics, collectibles and the youngtimers come out of their hiding! I've missed numerous nice cars that I could not photograph, but i'm glad this one did not escape me.
