I'm confused.
I have trouble spelling it so I normally say 'Drop Top'.

Me too, are you asking whether or not convertible should be capitalized? Or if it should be spelled convertable? If either one, the answer to both is no.
I'm with Will e. Rag Top or Drop Top was what the gear heads I hung around with called convertibles. And....was much easier to spell! [emoji16]

Depends on the car. My Convertible deserves to be capitalized.

I think someone has way to much time on their hands.

I'm sorry...I am trying to type the word Convertible with an "A" instead of an "I" but it auto corrects my spelling!

Ah, The picture is getting clearer!
I guess the spell check answered your question as it doesn't accept the version with an "a".

You got me, but a lot of people say and or spell it with an "A". That's what I was trying to say in the first place :whistling: I say Convertible !

You can blame the French for that oddity. The etymology of convertible is directly from French. Most of our other words ending in "able" are that way. So, it's no wonder we pronounce it as convert"able".

Blaming the French is always a good idea.
