I just don't like convertibles, there are very few that look good. I can't help but always see the normal car but cut up when I see the drop top version.

Here's one of the best-looking convertibles I've seen......the Suzuki X90.

Reminds me of the old "Hap Has It" advertising posters for Hap Jones Distributing Co (a motorcycle parts co) back in the 70's. They had some of their posters on the wall of my local roller skating rink when I was growing up, lol.

1980 International Transtar II cabover, completely restored.

Check out the video. This truck and trailer combo is a work of art.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=s0BagMu1pxA&list=PLbxB9LLg4a4lQpa_b77TVFMjdudmNlg8Y&index=3

To fully appreciate the rig, you need to see (and listen) to the other videos with it (or similar cabovers) underway, with the diesel engine working.
