Cars We Want To See as Convertibles

Those of us who love a drive in our convertibles know how great cruising around with the top down can be. The wind in our hair, the sun on our skin — we just can’t get enough. So we want more cars to offer a convertible option. Read on for the cars we most want to see turned into convertibles.

Nissan Altima

The Nissan Altima has just about everything you could want in a sedan. As a five-seater, the 2015 model gets 38 miles to the gallon for highway driving and an impressive 27 MPG for city. It also has a sleek, streamlined design and a solid 2.5 liter, 16-valve DOHC inline-four engine, making it well suited for the convertible style. Just imagine taking the whole family out for a spin in your comfy new Altima convertible.

Ford Expedition

You may not have entertained the idea of a luxury SUV actually being refashioned into a convertible. By all means, that idea could be a pipe dream yet to be discovered years down the road. Even so, the Ford Expedition, with its powerful V6 engine, heated seats, and 22 MPG highway driving feature, would be a lot of fun to drive as a convertible, and offers a lot of new terrain to explore.

Dodge Challenger

A jewel in the Dodge car family, the Challenger is every car buff's dream come true when it comes to beauty, class and style. As a convertible, the Challenger would bring to the table its solid 3.6, V6 8-speed engine, 19/30 MPG gas specs and its handy rear-wheel drive. It could indeed be the muscle car of convertibles.

Ford F-150 Pickup

Ford already has a Mustang convertible out there on the market. But what fun could it be if the F-150 were ever made into a convertible? Imagine four-wheel driving out in the sticks with the top down or doing some heavy duty hauling with the sun and breeze all around you. The Ford F-150 as a convertible might be a curious sight, but it would also be the cat's meow for pickup fans who also love the look and feel of a convertible.

Chevy Silverado

Since we are already imaging pickups as convertibles, let's go one step further with the Chevy Silverado. Either the 1500, 2500 or the heavy-duty 3500 model would do well for this idea. With its solid, powerful body, impressive specs like a three-cylinder, V6 engine and flex fuel capabilities, the Silverado would be fun, easy and affordable to drive. The newer models coming out will have an eight-speed engine as well, giving even more power to this already impressive car.

Convertibles always catch the imagination of car buffs everywhere. These vehicles are synonymous with luxury, class, and beauty. Even with the models out on the market today, car fans know that some other kinds of cars can be perfect as convertibles.
