Title: Just Curious
Post by: Chris E. on August 22, 2008, 07:46:01 AM

For those of you with car show experience. In the car show world, if a car has had the roof cut off, whether it is a bug or a camaro or whatever, does that classify it as a convertible or just a sedan/coupe with the roof cut off? :-\

I think it would normally put them into a custom/modified class.

In some non-VW events they use the classification "open" for converts and "closed" for sedans and HTs.  No roof would put it in the "open" class.

That's kinda what I thought. If I'm not mistaken, that chop top "rat rod" bug at the GCVWS was in the custom convertible class, which I thought was odd. But I don't know where else it could have gone. Anyways, thanks for answering my question.

Coming from somone that believe's in the stock section of the VW bible.. I'd also say custom class.

As far as that particular car is concerned I would have to say it is a custom sedan not a convertible.  Based simply on the vehicle it was made from.  Hard call to make I guess.
