#30 – 1948 Playboy Convertible
This is the 1948 Playboy Convertible. What was unique about this series of cars was it included a retractable hardtop that folded behind the seats when manually activated. The vehicles also had one row of seats. The Playboy Automobile Company founder Lou Horwitz, who previously sold cars for a living, came up with the design from his desire to bring a smaller and affordable vehicle to post-WWII America. Unfortunately, he only made 97 production cars before going bankrupt in 1951. There are around 43 surviving vehicles today.
