The 10 MOST BEAUTIFUL American Convertibles of the 1960s: Chrome, Open Air and Pure Presence

There was a summer evening, some time in the 1960s, when one of these went past you with the roof down. Ford Galaxies and Impalas on ordinary streets, Bonnevilles and Electras on better ones, and a four-door Lincoln with rear-hinged doors that opened outward from the middle of the car — so with everything open there was nothing to look at but the interior. Here are ten of the most beautiful American convertibles of the 1960s, what they cost new, and what they are worth today. The cars: 1. Ford Galaxie 500 Sunliner 2. Chevrolet Impala — 72,760 full-size convertibles in 1965 alone 3. Plymouth Fury III 4. Chrysler 300 5. Mercury Park Lane — the best value on the list 6. Buick Electra 225 7. Pontiac Bonneville — Wide-Track 8. Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight 9. Lincoln Continental — four doors, no pillars 10. Cadillac DeVille Four of these badges no longer exist. Oldsmobile closed in 2004, Plymouth in 2001, Pontiac and Mercury by 2010. Which one would you have parked in your driveway, and did anyone in your family ever own a convertible?
