Now look closer.

Yup, it’s not a Landau. It’s a well-executed convertible. I actually like it, especially because there’s no central roll bar. Bad for rigidity, horrible for safety, but it looks great. Basically the the only thing I don’t like is the grill. But yeah, four door luxury convertibles need to be a thing again.

Like A Jaguar XJ Convertible?

Just like that only without the rollover bar.

I would do anything I could to own a four door convertible

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > sm70- why not Duesenberg? 05/15/2016 at 10:44

To me the best thing about these cars was the rear pillar and how it meets the trunk. Also look how much smaller they made the rear window. I beat getting in the back, with the top up, is almost impossible.

I agree that they look better without the bar, but it at least gives the rear passengers something to hold on to when they ride around standing up, as, I assume, many of these cars will be used.

I think more than that it's a rollover safety thing.

That, and to preserve some semblance of structural rigidity with the rest of the roof cut off. Also, some cars have airbags and seatbelt anchor points that have to be left in place.

Were they ever a thing?

Looks OK, but I sure as hell wouldn’t want to be broadsided in that thing, with the upper B and C pillars lopped off. And what kind of fuckery happened to the rear door/glass? Upper door structure is cut off, but it looks like they eliminated the fixed rear window and shifted everything forward to allow the convertible top to overlap the rear edge of the back door? Willing to bet the glass rattles, and it leaks like a sieve as well.

Quickest way to make sure you’ll never be able to sell a car.

these were known for their bendiness. if you jacked up one corner of the car, you couldn’t open the doors on that side.

It is with great regret that we must inform you that all rebuttals must be submitted within 90 days of the original comment. Failure to comply results in forfeiture of position, and an automatic agreement.

I.e. as of 8/13/2016 the DTS convertible is better, and that’s the truth.
