I'm sure there has been many discussions as to "Why Chevy never made a Cabriolet" in 1939. Just wanted to get your thoughts & opinions. Since i have been seeing many (nice) conversions, Holden, and European 1939 Convertibles. Our car show in November will have the mix of the mentioned 39 convertibles.

Po-tay-to, Po-tah-to. It's French for convertible.

@tiny Tiny, I don't really understand your comment. I think Daniel is wondering why Chevrolet did not offer an open car to the U.S. market in 1939.

If so, my mistake. I thought it was a comment about why some call a convertible a cabriolet. I wasn't aware that Chevy didn't offer an open car. My apologies for any confusion.

Thanks for posting the old thread. As a side it really shows how many contributors didn't make it to the new forum.

@michael-falise thanks Michael! Interesting to see the discussion. @david-dunton is right, looks like not many made it to the new site.
