Ford Convertibles

If you’re looking for a Ford convertible, the Mustang in differing trims is what the Blue Oval have to offer - a performance-oriented 2-door pony car, much beloved for its lively antics. Many new and used sports cars are adored for more than just their power and handling capabilities, but also for their iconic and distinctive aesthetics that bring with it a certain sense of style. While typically powerful and aimed at enthusiasts, these icons are still enjoyed for casual driving and remain popular in the USA. The presence of a fold-down roof hints at a grand tourer lifestyle, and most love the duality of laid-back cruising with enough gusto on tap for a bit of excitement.

Back in the 1960s, one such automobile was the Ford Galaxie Starliner, a two-door semi-fastback that was initially used for NASCAR racing. Its exterior looks were themed around the space race that occurred during that era, and later the commercial hardtop and square-roof versions were joined by a convertible variation. Today, it’s a valuable classic that most will only ever see in pictures and videos.

Nowadays, the ‘Stang is the only Ford vehicle for sale in convertible form, unfortunately, but there’s a lot to be said for this machine.

List of Ford’s New Convertible Cars

• Mustang Convertible - The basic form of the well-known nameplate is equipped with a 2.3-liter turbo-four EcoBoost engine that can be coupled with a ten-speed automatic gearbox. Though rivals in the segment typically have more premium interiors, this relatively affordable alternative comes jam-packed with infotainment functionalities and features.
• Mustang GT Convertible - A 5.0-liter Coyote V8 covers acceleration in the GT, which ups the ante on outright speed. It produces outputs of 460 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque. Though it is more capable than the base version - and those figures do look good in black-and-white, its convertible guise still has it lean more toward comfort than anything else.

Sensibly, because of the high-performance nature of the Bullitt and Shelby variations of the ‘Stang, convertible iterations are not made available for either. With how relatively pricey these variants already are as standard, it’s likely that the cost for drop-tops would be sky-high too.
