A convertible is a car that has a detachable roof. They come in two varieties, hardtop and soft top(rag top). Hardtop means they have a rigid roof that can be put on, soft top means they have a foldable cloth roof that can be erected.
You can make anything into a convertible, but you lose structural rigidity. Essentially, the car will flex, squeak, rattle, and drive even worse than it already does.

Short answer: 1931 Long answer: Most of the first automobiles were based on horse-carriges available at the time, many having retractable roofs......ergo the first full bodied cars followed suite.Even though a steam powered car was invented in 1672 by Ferdinand Verbiest it is quite likely the inventor of the first full bodied car would get credit.The convertible was the default body style of all vehicles before 1910, when Cadillac introduced the first closed-body car. James Jones created the patent for the convertible car in 1919. Credit for the first modern hardtop convertible goes to Chrysler -- with a 1946 model. But the first hardtop retractable convertible was invented by B. B. Ellerbeck in 1931.

There were only two body options for the Road Runner-Hardtop and Coupe (not including the Convertible in 1970). The only noticeable difference between the two are the rear side windows. On a Hardtop, the side windows roll down completely, whereas on the Coupe these windows simply push out at the back, leaving the B-pillar visible. The Hardtop is also sometimes known as a "post" car. As it is, the Coupe is slightly lighter.
I wouldn't.
