I would normally prefer a convertible over any other body, but the present 'fast top' looks particularly striking - especially in this metallic salmon colour.

I prefer the hardtop. I had forgotten about that 'fast top'.

I'd pick the convertible version if offered for practically any vehicle.

Hardtop for me. I love the trapezoidal pillar. Convertible next.

Fast top for me. It is the sleekest looking.

Love the Fast-top. Makes the Sport Fury look like a bargain-priced Chrysler 300! Especially if it has fender skirts.

Very handsome fast top for me. Never keen on those pillars narrowing from top to bottom. Aesthetically it somehow makes the attachment of the roof to the body look "weak". The convertible doesn't really appeal. It's hard to explain, but the styling of some cars still manages to look "complete" without a roof, whereas others just seem to lose some essential part of their overall style and identity when the top is removed. But I'm sure driving one on a summer's day with the wind in your hair (if you have any) would be delightful.

I voted convertible. I always avoided vinyl tops since one I had rusted underneath and made a terrible appearance. But open air was always welcome.

With no hesitation, the HARDTOP! The Fast Top looks deformed. Not a good look to my eyes at all. As for the convertible, any convertible, my only problem with all of them when the top is down, is that the great designs of a top is gone. And those designs add to the styling of any car. One good example is the '57 Oldsmobile. It's that three-split rear window that gives the car it's outstanding looks, in a convertible form, it's lost.
