Your best or first convertible memory!

1968 Olds Cutlass 442 Convertible. My grandfather was a Shriner and used it fir parades. It was pale yellow with an original white interior and had an awful set of whitewalls and wire hubcaps. I got to borrow it a few times, and it was fun to drive.
Two of my uncles drove it on a golf outing one Sunday afternoon. One of them was a smoker, and when he flicked a butt out of the car it actually blew into the back seat...with predictable results. A few miles later they had to pull over and watch the car burn to the ground.

I had a built Trans Am T-Top, same generation. That thing was nasty and fun. Miss it too
First memory was seeing all of my cousins take off without me in a firebird convertible during a family vacation a long, long time ago.
Had a Fiat X1/9 - technically not a convertible.
Had a Fiat Spyder convertible - cool car with a glasspack until the front end broke.
Yeah, it's been only sunroofs since then...

2002 bmw330 ci great car. Traded last year for wife new honda pilot sure miss it!
Mom had a 62 Caddy convertible. Took my brother and me to Panama City Beach with the top down the whole way. It rained in a couple of places and she left the top down and kept driving. I thought that was so cool. We were only 8 and 12.
Later I bought a '68 Vette ragtop. Wife and I went to the Smokey Mountains - top down all the way. When we got to Granny's house we looked like lobsters. Wind and sun burned us to a crisp. The ride up the mountain to Clingman's Dome shifting gears was a blast though.

Had a 1971 (IIRC) MGB 3 decades plus ago and on my first ride into Boston with the top down from a city nearby put a $1000 cash folded in my shirt pocket and as I was cruising down the interstate the wind sucked the cash from my pocket and into the wind. Spent a good hour or two chasing cash down while parked on the interstate.
Recovered all but one $50 bill. Fun car but a pain to maintain. My first and last convertible.
