Beretta convertible?
Check out the gallery:

The Acura NSX is very noteworthy. The BMW 850 and Acura Legend (look under the archives section at the bottom of the list) are also very nicely done.
oh yeah, the Mercedes limo convertible is also worth checking out.

I'm really impressed with them being able to incorporate quarter windows that roll down and not have a roll hoop, especially when there is no good doner for the vehicles their working on. Berettas have it easy with the Cutlass being damn near the same thing. I'm honestly surprised no one has done it yet...

There are a lot of photoshopped vehicles. You're probably looking under the "concepts" section? There are also a fair number under the gallery. I imagine they do it just to get an idea of what vehicles would make good candidates for a conversion, or for customers to get an idea of the finished product.
This is legit though. I found it while looking at BMW 850i's on ebay and one had a conversion done. The Toyota FJ Crusier converts can be ordered through the dealer now iirc and they are done by this company.

Id say that over half of these cars on the site are crappy photoshops. I really don't like what I see, anyone check out the GMC? alot of times the framed door glass is still framed like the prius. blah! did cars and concepts do the berettas?

I kind of like the range rover.
But I agree with the fact that 90% of those are shitty chops.

There are a lot of photoshops, but there are also a lot of great cars.
to answer scberetta3800, yes C&C did do the Beretta convertible.
The difference with them, is that they did painting and bodywork on a lot of their vehicles, whereas this place doesn't. That's because C&C was doing very large volume work on one vehicle and could afford to repaint some stuff as needed. This place does one vehicle at a time and it wouldn't be cost effective for them to be doing body work to every car that goes through there. That's why you still see door frames and such still attached.

still, for the price you pay for a one-off convertible model why compromise?

exactly. I have seen cars where they've done some bodywork, like attaching the front of a door frame to the windshield (a BMW comes to mind). It did come at the cost of around 35k though... so yes, they can do it, but it's damn expensive.
