Being the convertible guy that I am... I was surprised to learn that Chrysler authorized Newport Engineering (CA ) to create PT Cruiser convertibles BEFORE factory 2-doors were offered. Hmm..... Who knew? Not me! 😯 😯

I think I knew but never saw one in the 'wild' before.
Whenever I think of the 4 door drop top, I think of the Lincoln.

Yes, very nice, a colour that suited the car perfectly.
I paid my own homage to it some years ago.
Conversion of the Minichamps "Kennedy" limo. (Such casual extravagance, cutting up one of those just for fun, but there you are.)

Saw a lot of those in southern CA in the day.

@perrone1 Oooo, that Lincoln looks great in that soft yellow.
Any car would look good in that YELLOW.

Being honest, more isn't always better in my opinion. In the case of "4-door" cars over "2-door" cars, I've never been a fan of "4-doors" on any car.
