Posted in another thread about a Corrado convertible and it got me thinking. Cars that shouldn't be convertibles.

ie.

Any four seat saloon - A4, 3-series, etc. Any shopping hatch. Any diesel. Pretty much everything except coupes and cars originally designed to be open.

That 959 is actually really well done.

It has swappable windscreens for either convertible or speedster configuration, and a hardtop that turns it back into the coupe.

Hand crafted wooden storage cases for each of the parts, too.

Was done on a brand new car the owner practically wrote off the day he picked it up.

thread title immediately made me think of this:
