Top 10 Best Convertible Drop Tops

With the ability to retract its roof, nothing can paint an image of summer more than the convertible. The retractable roof provides that open-road breeze that is really incomparable to a moon roof.  It’s just not the same.

Some convertibles come with two options, a hard-top and a soft-top. The hard-top is nice because it provides your car the ability to work all year round, plus many tend to agree that the hard-top has a nicer look to it. The downfall, however, is that a hardtop adds more weight to the car, potentially making it slower and less fuel efficient. Now with a soft-top, not much weight is added, but the drawback is the cloth liner can potentially be damaged more easily in the winter season.

So, putting the hard-top / soft-top debate aside, just what are today's top convertibles on the market? Well we took care of the dirty work for you!

1965 Mustang GT - Best Classic Car

The 1965 Mustang is the car that started it all.  The "ponycar" that really kicked off the muscle car explosion that dominated the late 60's and early 70's.  Lee Iacocca and the Ford design team created an icon that still is wildly popular today in its modern day form.  The Mustang sold over 1 Million units between April 1964 and 1966 - an unheard of number of sales for one model at the time or even now

I'm a proud owner of a '65 Mustang GT myself and I really do love that car.  It doesn't handle all that well, especially when compared to today's sports cars, but it is a blast to drive.  From the throaty roar of dual exhaust 289 cu in engine to that "old car smell" that's just about as intoxicating as "new car smell" it's a joy to drive.

It's a well optioned car with Air Conditioning, Console, 2 speed wipers, Day/Nite Mirror and Styled Steel wheels.  Curiously it doesn't have backup lamps which were a $12.25 option back in 1965. 

In my opinion there isn't a better classic car than the Mustang.  The Chevy and Dodge guys may not agree but they have to respect the car that started it all.
