Sobre IBD

From dusty horseless carriages to sleek electric roadsters, Convertible Summers charts the sweeping history of America’s most romanticized automobile: the convertible. This deeply researched, narrative-driven book explores how the drop-top became a defining symbol of American freedom, innovation, and cultural identity. Across fifteen richly detailed chapters, readers journey through every era of open-air motoring-from roaring ’20s roadsters and postwar dream machines to muscle-bound cruisers, nostalgic revivals, and today’s niche electric concepts.Along the way, the book revisits iconic models like the Chevrolet Bel Air, Ford Mustang, Cadillac Eldorado, and Mazda Miata, all while examining the social, economic, and engineering forces that shaped the convertible’s rise, fall, and rebirth. With its compelling blend of automotive history and cultural reflection, Convertible Summers is not just a chronicle of cars-it’s a tribute to the joy of the open road and the enduring American desire to drive under a boundless sky.
