  • Hard Top on Hard Top Off

    A little survey. How many people get more comments on their 02/05 Thunderbird. Do you get more having the hard top on your car or with it off? Doesn't mean a whole lot, just curious.

    YOU NEED A THIRD CHOICE, "NO DIFFERENCE". I GET COMMENTS EITHER WAY AND HARDTOPS ARE NOT ON AS LONG AS THEY ARE OFF.

      Definitely, my neighbors in Palm Island have voted, and they like the Hard Top ON.

      Of course I would rather the Hard Top off so that I can drop the Ragtop in the cool AM, and raise it in the Hot PM, and drop it in the evening again.......

      A lot better car and even more exclusive, but doesn't have the Cachet the Thunderbird had. Adios, mi Amigo.

          Wouldn't know, either. Don't want one. Don't want to wrestle with it. Can't see the price; don't have room to store it. My top is down if I'm in the car, unless it's raining faster than I can go, or the wife objects.

            I'm the opposite, Only had the top off once, just after I bought it, to see if the soft top worked. I think the portholes are the main styling point of the car.

              Yes, I agree with John, the portholes seem to be the focal and nostalgia point that most appear to relate to. Having said that, I should mention that the top remains on.

                Hardtop off, and softtop down. People just talk to you when you're out in the open and readily accessible. There were many gawkers when we drove down through Clearwater Beach and the beach road last Sunday afternoon, and a few "love your car" and "cool car" shouts.

                    Spence:

                    I get more comments with the hardtop on. However, it's a lot more fun with the top down!

                      More fun top down. More comments with port hole top.

                        I like the styling with the hard top on, but always wanted a convertible, so mostly drive with top off!

                          I get more comments when the top is off. Probably because I drive it that way most of the time.

                            I like the top down but the comments I get are more for the top on. I usually leave the top on for the very cold. Late November to 1st of March.

                              Like most of my Fl Comrades I haven't had top on enough to tell. When I use the hard top the weather will be so bad nobody will be talking any way. I agree about the port holes. If I ever replace my soft top I will put port holes in the new one. :-)
