Oh, I would love the 2-seater ‘56 or ‘57 (baby) T-Bird. It’s just not practical for everyday life and I’d never trust Piper in an open top, lol.
Be nice as an extra car though.

The removeable hardtop was easy to remove or put back on - usually with a simple hand hoist attached to the garage roof
That would keep Piper safe on your short trips
