The staff at The Henry Ford

After enclosed cars became affordable in the 1920s, convertibles were the exception rather than the rule on American roads. They took on an aura of glamour and adventure, and they gave us visions of movie stars cruising with the wind in their hair. But movie stars live in sunny southern California -- most of us don't. Convertibles boosted a brand's image and lured customers into showrooms, but most buyers went home in sedans.
