Who coined the word " Hardtop" wouldn't a roof with pillars be " harder"? Sent from my LG-TP450 using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I believe it was a guy who wanted to differentiate it from all the Tudors being discussed on the other thread....
yep...post cars had been around for a long time....had to call the pillar less ones something.......to make them sell....so you say the opposite of fact.......
The first hardtops were called Hardtop Convertibles, because they looked like a convertible top with no pillars. Here's a good read on the history of hardtops https://www.hemmings.com/blog/article/a-history-of-hardtops/ and more https://50classicchevy.com/1950-chevrolet-styleline-deluxe-bel-air/
