Drop-Top Hummer to Make Detroit Debut
Date posted: 01-04-2006

SOUTHGATE, Mich. — Auto supplier American Specialty Cars (ASC) will introduce two open-top concepts at the Detroit auto show next week, including the Hummer H3 Cosmos, the first convertible version of the popular SUV.

ASC says the Cosmos has a fabric-top system that can open the truck's cabin to the elements or cover just the passenger or cargo areas. ASC's second concept, which has yet to be announced, will feature a panoramic sunroof.

Last year, ASC worked its convertible magic on the Chrysler 300C, creating the Helios, a four-door convertible that drew much attention at the 2005 North American International Auto Show.

What this means to you: Good news for sun worshippers. ASC may offer the Hummer convertible system as an aftermarket conversion package at some point. Edited January 5, 2006 by HarleyEarl

That's NOT a convertable....

kinda neat, I guess. Still wouldn't buy one, though.

Interesting, the H3T had that same sort of roof (though it was a lot smaller).

Does the H3 have new tailights??

I don't think they do, they look like the factory-spec units.

Yeah, it's more like the 2003 BMW xActivity Concept. (The X3 Preview.)
