RE: Roadster vs Convertible terminology (long)

Hmm. Good point.
Is it a folding top over the passengers = Phaeton

as opposed to fixed top over the passengers = coupe?

I'm not certain if the coupe definition in 1 is applicable to automobiles, 
it just seemed to follow. I have heard Phaeton used for dual-cowled cars, I 
just forgot about it in my long-winded roadster babble.

Phil,
        How does Phaeton fit into this? I thought it was convertible top for the
passengers and driver be damned ala definition 1 of coupe.
