soft top???

[Blackfoot]

From what I've heard they call it the /Hoopdy Edition/ and they were made by dealers or aftermarket companies.

Has been discussed before.

Since this thread has been done for a while, but still manages to hang on, I'll post some useless info!

I was in Casper, Wyoming one day and saw an 80s Buick Century (the FWD one) convertible. THAT THING was ugly! Must have been one of those hack-job non-factory convertibles.

From Wikipedia

"In 1985, some 300 Buick Century Coupes were made into convertibles by Hess & Eisenhardt."

"I'm George W. Bush, and I approve of this Presidential Edition Contour" :laugh:

 

[TourDeForce]

Yep, sounds like the Presidential Edition. God, how appropriate is that!!!

Yeah! Clinton was in the White House then!

I can't wait till I retire and get that mod on my SVT. I'll be a super fly old guy.

any shop that does convertable tops will do that crap for you too. best is seeing a 2007 camry with it. but blue hairs will put it on any type of vehicle.

Definitely, toss a spare tire on the rear bumper and your set!

My old Caddy had a wierd one... instead of on the rear bumper, there was a fiberglass piece on top the trunklid that was about 1/4 as thick as a real tire and had a 5th hubcab in the middle of it.

Supposedly a really rare option.

On a 1980-1985 Seville, perhaps? Those were pretty cool.

I just saw one of those soft top Mystiques!

I saw a Mystique like the sad case pictured above, today. It was T-red with a tan roof, was once a nice Mystique LS like mine before the trip to the "profit shop"...Our local Mercury dealers like to do up the Montegos and Marquis (no surprise there) to collect the 1000s in profits.

Close... 81 Coupe Deville... so it wasn't at an angle like the bustleback of the Seville... was smack dab in the center of the trunklid. Probly one of the reasons the gas struts were bad, which damaged the power pulldown mechanism since it was so damn heavy.

Had to use a broom stick to hold that thing up. Broke a long ice scraper/brush once!
