drop top
Open-air automobile
A drop top is a convertible car—one with a roof that folds down or retracts.
The term emphasizes the roof's ability to drop away, exposing the cabin to open air: cruising in the drop top with the music up.
Common in hip-hop and casual speech, it's interchangeable with convertible but sounds more stylish and less technical.
