$20,000 Used Convertibles: Window Shop with Car and Driver A search for the perfect $20,000 droptop reveals how eclectic our tastes are. Apr 23, 2021 With warmer weather on the horizon, the Window Shoppers take a look at some summer favorites: convertibles. We set a healthy budget of $20,000 to ensure the panel finds interesting examples, and in that, they didn't disappoint. First up is contributor John Pearley Huffman, who stretches the definition of "convertible" to its breaking point by picking a Meyers Manx. The crew points out that without a top, the Manx doesn't fit the bill. Besides, he's way over budget. Editorial director Joe Brown makes his Window Shop debut this week and puts up a rare convertible pickup for consideration. He claims it's connected to McLaren in a weird six-degrees-of-Kevin-Bacon way. The truck's 125-hp V-6 puts some people off, but a few of us like the idea of getting a nice tan while driving to Home Depot.
