Not surprisingly, when the mercury begins to climb, ragtop sales start to run hot. Approximately 40 percent of sales occur during the summer months (June-September). Warm weather states don't own exclusive rights to convertible enjoyment. The top three cities for convertible sales are Los Angeles, New York and Miami. The top 10 are rounded out by San Francisco, Orlando, Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit, Washington D.C., and Dallas.
From the deluxe Mustang Convertible starting at $23,625 to the premium Thunderbird roadster with a removable top at $39,445, Ford makes the ragtop experience available to fit any lifestyle. If horsepower is a desire, the new 390-horsepower SVT Mustang Cobra Convertible is the perfect choice. Its new, high-quality cloth top material, found on exotics convertibles from Europe, adds to the top's durability and provides better sound insulation for the interior.
While many things have changed in the last 35 years, customers still list "fun to drive" as the top reason for buying a convertible.
