Over 90 illustrations. As far as automobiles go, "ragtops" are the ultimate in romance. Convertibles are the closest that real life gets to a magic carpet ride. An outgrowth of post-World War II chic, the convertible became the ultimate symbol of the California laid-back, "beautiful person" lifestyle. This book, illustrated with 90 full-color photographs, presents a complete history of convertibles from the golden age of ragtops in the 1920s and 1930s to the grand cars of the fifties and sixties, and finally, the sleek models of today.
