	Heres a thread for vehicles that the manufacturer never bought out as a convertible but have been converted to be one. Some of them you really do think the manufacturer should have. My examples DAF 33 DAF 600/750 Project Aero the frankendaf. Half finished at the moment The Havas beachcomber aka DAF 55 seeing a pattern yet ;D Ok some other makes Convertible rangey FTW Marina

	The Mk1 Ford there is a factory "conversion". I'm lovin' that AMC drop top. Those things are pretty wrong to start off with and that just adds a whole extra dollop of wrongness. This makes it WIN

	wow some really interesting and really terrible convertibles. In my opinion the ones that should never have been done are the k11 micra and the fiat punto convertibles! they just look dangerous loving the S13 and whilst the shark nose 5 suits it check out the guys tash and general 80s pose
