Personally I always call my 93 Fortieth a Roadster, but call my new one a Vert. Have no reason why. I think just a more proper term for the aging lady.

Hey! For those of us who are follicly impaired those hats are a Godsend. The small brim means they don't fly off in the wind. If I did not wear my red hat that matches my car, my head would match instead. Got mine at Paris Hats in San Antonio. It was my very first mod.
