Convertible hartops appear to be older than I thought. When I was a lad, our neighbor had a new 1959 Ford Fairlane Galaxie 500 Skyliner.
I think that was the first U.S. one - I haven't searched for that or world's oldest.

Here is one that's really slow, but it's homemade. This man has skills.
Be sure to keep watching after it's down because the trailer has a secret ! (starting ~ 2:30) - what comes out is a bit wonky in place, imo, but this man is talented nonetheless.

I knew too.
And I should have included Dan's Jaguar.
For the Ferrari's, an old and the new in yellow and red. Yellow 275GTB (V12 w/webbers) and red Modena.

Speaking of Aston Martin, in this clip about the Lexus LC500...well, here's what I posted after I watched it: (replying to " Don't dislike this video until you watch the whole thing ")

" I couldn't have said it better! He has both pos & neg things to say about it until ~7:50. Then all positive. I'm not sure why he doesn't call it a GT.

The only thing I'm not nuts about is the rear-end styling in most pics. Probably looks better in person.
What he says about the car's appearance compared to the Aston Martin sitting there @9:55 is pretty interesting. Especially as he's one of the many reviewers that have disparaged the "spindle" grill. I never liked those grills either, but this model wears it well. "

OK, for any who might not know and because I also mentioned Jaguar and Porsche, here are
the pics posted on AA of Dan's lovely Jaguar and Masterlu Jr's Porsche, as good looking as any made.
