droptops
Cars without roofs
Droptops are convertible cars—vehicles with roofs that fold down or retract.
The term emphasizes the lowered roof as a defining feature: cruising in droptops, summer's for droptops.
Common in hip-hop and casual speech as a marker of status or carefree living.
Also spelled as two words or hyphenated.
