One thing on my automotive bucket list? Owning a proper roadster. And by proper I mean the kind the car that has no roof—or even the provision for one. Since I live in sunny SoCal, where there’s generally a few of weeks warning before any kind of precipitation, it’ll be practical enough.

I think this 1967 Dodge Dart GT Convertible Daroo Concept would fit the bill perfectly, even if it’s about three times the size of the tiny little British machines typically associated with the roadster moniker. I should be able to find one Craigslist no problem, right?
