  • 2008 Chrysler Sebring Convertible Product Heritage
    Contact: Kristin Starnes Beth Ann Bayus 2008 Chrysler Sebring Convertible Product Heritage March 29, 2007, Auburn Hills, Mich. - When Americans think of convertibles, they think of the Chrysler Sebring Convertible — and little wonder. Just when it seemed the convertible was lost forever a quarter-century ago, Chrysler brought it back with panache — and the vehicle that evolved from that revolutionary gesture has been an American favorite ever since. Open-air motoring has been part of the driving experience since motorized carriages began replacing horses at the turn of the 20th Century. The first Chrysler, the 1924 Chrysler Six, was a convertible “touring car.” Throughout the company’s history, each of its brands — Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth, Imperial and DeSoto (and, after 1987, Jeep®) —featured memorable drop-top models. Especially noteworthy among those dozens of vehicles are the 1932-33 Chrysler Imperial convertibles, including the distinctive dual-cowl phaetons; the 1939 Plymouth convertible, which featured the first power-operated top in the industry; the renowned 1946-49 Chrysler Town & Country “woody” convertibles; the colorful, two- and three-toned Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth and DeSoto convertibles of the mid-50s, and the stylish but scarce 1970-71 Plymouth Barracuda convertibles from the muscle-car era. The convertible’s popularity reached its zenith in 1965. Sales of all convertible models then began a rapid descent, prompted by changes in public taste, air conditioning and the recent availability of retractable glass roof panels on some hardtop models. Never large sellers and expensive to produce, convertibles began disappearing from automakers’ catalogs in the early '70s. With the discontinuance of the Cadillac Eldorado convertible in 1976, the breed became officially extinct.
