Merc.
I owned a 1958 Ford Retractable. Terrible car. Started rusting when it was two years old and by the time it was 4 years old I didn't dare retract the top because the trunk floor was total rust. Rust everywhere including rocker panels tops of the fenders near the headlights. The worst car I have ever owned.
Skyliner.
The Skyliner but w/o the skirts.
