ANYONE have photos of a Charger Convertable???

I'm thinking of taking a coronet conv. and making a charger conv. Anyone have photo's of one completed, top up and top down...

With a little "searching" on this site you will see about a half dozen threads already on this topic.

True, the subject has come up a lot recently - especially since MARS showed one at Carlisle.

And a compilation of photos from threads... but the ads make it very annoying.

Pretty cool Wingcharger.  Would it be hard to organize them by generation so my lazy but wouldn't have to look by year?

One thing needed in order for me to consider the car a success is the back light and sail fins.  The Coronet/Belvedere roof doesn't cut it.  It can be done, and I've seen it done on other custom convertibles.  Use the Charger vinyl top molding for the edge, and cables running to the rear points of the sail fins to give shape to it when it's up.  In my opinion, it's the only way to go.  Can anyone tell me what's up with the top on this car?

Yeah, it always gets said on these threads - The Charger's roof is the issue for converts.  The production B-body convertibles can take the Charger's exterior panels on the lower half, but the Charger styling gets ruined by the 'vert's different windshield and fabric contours. 



I've always thought the way to do a 'vert Charger would be a low-height windshield (like the steel-topped models rather than the converts) and a removable rigid hardtop that fits into the trunk.  Like, the top lifts off & folds in half or something.

I'd probably make the separate top piece out of aluminum so it's light enough for one person to lift & fold it.  And glue vinyl top material onto the skin.

OK....I was just going through a few old discs I'd burned years ago, and came across thse videos of a Charger convertible!
They were originally attached to an auction for the car on Ebay.
One shows the car driving by:

And the other has the top going up and down.
