Abstract
An automobile body includes a front windshield and a passenger compartment having a pair of body side panels between which is disposed a front seat section and a rear seat section, and a collapsible, segmented convertible hard top roof. The roof is mounted for manually-activated movement between a raised, non-collapsed position, in which the roof extends from an upper edge of the front windshield rearwardly over the front and rear sections of the passenger compartment at a sufficient height so that the body assumes the general configuration of a hard top four passenger sedan or coupe body, and a lowered collapsed position, in which the roof extends substantially over only the rear seat section of the passenger compartment at a lower height such that it lies substantially flush with the upper edges of the body side panels so that the body assumes the general configuration of a two-passenger, open top roadster.
