leolito ◊ 2006-09-19 09:39	wickey wrote targa is convertible? "Targa" refers usually to coupes with a removable roof only ... I think they call them T-tops in the US.

"T-Tops" in the US started with the 1968 Corvette that maintained a center bar underneath two removeable panels. The result when open was a "T" look. The rear window was also removable on these Corvettes. After 1975 "T-tops" were very popular on many US vehicles as no factory "full convertibles" were produced (except 1976 Eldorado).
