Oh, yeah, you're right... I guess in my case the paint is already so bad I wouldn't even blink. I remember once riding the Washington State ferry to Bremerton. Nice summer day, top down, my buddies a

Are the stowaways easier to put up and down? Can a '71 be converted to As much as I like originality, I would jump at an aftermarket 'easy-to-use' hood. Please, someone design an easy to use hood for

My "mid-fold" top was like that. One hand up and one hand down (apart from doing up/undoing the clips on the top of the windscreen.... unless you have strong hands). Often did that when it started to

I couldn't agree more. I prefer the stowaway top by a considerable margin over the folding version. But I also agree that after owning an Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce for a while, and marvelling time and

Isn't the folding top simple enough? I can raise and lower mine from the driver's seat with one hand (maybe two when putting it back up to stretch it far enough to clamp). It is great during the rain

Hey, surely it is not just ME that had a midfold that operated 'ONE-HANDED' and dropped down nicely behind my seat (OK, maybe not "totally" down behind my seat, but it never worried me there and if I

Wow, you're a better man than me. It used to take me five full minutes to lower the folding top in my 1971 - longer than it took me to stow the removeable version. Worse, though, it took all sorts of

It was the exact opposite for me. But that wasn't the problem with the design - it was more in the fit. So far, my folding top has proven just loose enough to easily snap back up. It is a moderately

Yeah, American car companies have always done convertibles well. From Corvettes to Camaros to Mustangs to Cudas, they always look so good and clean with the top down. Unlike, say, the Porsche 911 or
