Convertible craze defies cost rise and safety craze
In Philadelphia area, doctors and retirees cling to ragtop cars, paying extra for a used American convertible while dealers report rising values. The crisis mirrors a broader decline in new convertible production and a shift to safety and air conditioning costs, with some classic cars fetching above their original sticker. Flood damaged cars bring risk after Johnstown flood, as the Pennsylvania Bureau of Consumer Protection warns dealers and buyers to disclose such damage and urges citizens to report suspected cases.
