They included the Austin-Healey Sprite, 100 and 3000; Lotus Elan; MG TC, TD, A, B and Midget; Triumph TR and Spitfire, and Sunbeam Alpine and Tiger. All offered top-down exhilaration with a low center of gravity and... Full article...

Others that have recently installed hard tops include Volkswagen's Eos, Infiniti's G37, Chrysler's... Full article...

This probably means there is a battery pack somewhere at the... Full article...

The Ford Taurus arrived three decades ago with a youthful vigor that would propel it to become the No. 1 sedan in America.
