Automobile Hardtops and Center Pillars |
||||||
| "Hardtop Convertible" is one of the world's great misnomers. Since the top does not retract, it is not a convertible, and the missing center pillar makes the top distressingly "soft" in a roll-over accident. Below are the 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Sport Coupe, 1957 De Soto Fireflite, and the 1959 Lincoln Coupe. | ||||||
