I have to agree with the majority. The F1's look nicer with tops.

that actually looks a little better than I thought. Just buy a jeep it'll fill you convertible and 4x4 desires.. At least that's what I did, a 2005 jeep unlimited rubicon. I sold off my alpine sunbeam and bought a truck again.

Leaving the top on

Yep - might need a jeep for that convertible need.

I have a 1950 John Deere, a 68 Cougar and the 48 ford truck. Wife has made some not so subtle threats that nothing else with wheels, or an engine, can come into the yard (I could do that - tee hee). Need to build a detached garage - out of sight out of mind.

Thanks

does any one know the tire combo on this? I tried looking up his name couldn't fine him..

48ford if you do go with a jeep get the unlimited I love mine. I've have quite a few over the years and was never satisfied with the size , now I wondered what took jeep so long to figure it out again... Same size as cj8. they just look real ugly with a hard top.

In my opinion there hasn't been a decent looking convertible (or roadster truck) since the early 30's

That's just wrong for so many reasons.

I do like the Model A Roaster pickups.

Who could not like a Model A in any configuration? It would be unAmerican!!!

Ok, I stand corrected, there are some good looking convertible trucks, I like the "Jeep" style Jim did his...

but thats the first time I've seen one I've liked that wasn't from the 30s.
