They are both beautiful models. I have the hardtop; I don't believe I've ever seen the convertible.

Was the convertible a chop?

- @mg-harv Harv,
- I actually purchased the car with a crushed roof. Otherwise, mint condition! I had a new 50’s Chrysler windshield and glass and also located an appropriate top boot and painted it black to complete the trim-tone theme. I really like the convertible in this color combo and also like the hardtop. I am aware that Motor City made a tri-tone red and green version. Still like the rose version best. IMHO

Ed, my goal is always to bring back to original or better, this car was to most people a disaster. I saw it for what it was not only originally but to make it better. I already had the hardtop and this made it possible to have a one off convertible. look forward to restoring and improving!
