2015 Ford Mustang Convertible First Look Quick To Drop, Quieter... And Easier To Sit On? Ford will be dribbling out the Mustang details over the next few weeks leading up to its AARP-eligibility birthday party in April in New York, and we learned a lot more about the convertible and bit more about both models' aerodynamics. We already knew the top would be made of cloth, and now we know that cloth will be offered in Henry Ford's Model T color palette -- black only. The three-layer top has a smoother appearance when up, thanks in large part to the addition of a fourth bow and a 10mm-thick "mattress pad" of foam between the bows and the outer layer. All models get a standard headliner that covers the entire mechanism. There's one less seam to sew on the side-rail area for a cleaner look and the forward section is still made of rigid sheetmetal to form a "parade boot" tonneau appearance without the need for a separate boot. Two easily installed side panels cover the mechanism. Naturally, as with any new car, further advancements in structural engineering and greater use of high-strength steel create a 13-percent increase in torsional rigidity and a claimed reduction in windshield header shake on rough roads. This increased rigidity, along with the new independent rear suspension, is said to greatly improve ride and handling. Just be careful, there are no fixed or automatically deploying rear roll-over bars, though, so you'll want to be sure and keep the shiny side up.
