I've most often heard the term "drophead coupe" in reference to Jaguars.
My best guess is that it refers to a coupe that was made into a convertible
by the factory. (a drop head) I don't know if our bretheren across the pond
use the same definition of a coupe as the ASE does, which, as I mentioned,
is a specified volume of cubic feet behind the front seats (I can never
remember that darn number) This area can include a back seat, as long as it
stays within the volume restriction. Hence the Jaguar e-type coupes, and
more modern examples being the Subaru XT coupe and the Hyundai Scoupe, which
incidentally have a back seat or "parcel shelf" depending on your trim
level.
