Convertible Cars Prices in Nigeria – Reviews and Buying Guide

A convertible, also known as a Cabriolet, is a passenger car that can be driven without a car roof. The way the roofs are retracted and stored varies between different convertible models. The most interesting thing about convertibles is that they allow for an open-air driving experience with the option of covering the hood back in unfavourable conditions.

Most of the roofs are made of a folding construction framework with the actual body of the car made from cloth or other fabric. Other types of roofs are constructed from metal or plastic, while some are detachable hardtops where that can be manually removed and stored in the trunk. Other terms used in place of convertible and cabriolet are Cabrio, open top, rag top, soft top, Spider, drop top, open two-seater, and drop-head coupé.
