G-MANN 2007-08-19 22:25	Shouldn't it be called a DB4 Volante instead of a "DB4 Convertible"?
rpcm 2007-08-19 22:36	As far as I know, only from the DB6 Aston dropheads were called Volante. http://www.astonmartins.com/np6c/index.html -- Last edit: 2007-08-19 22:53:07
G-MANN 2007-08-19 22:47	I've just found out (through wikipedia) that convertible Astons were only called Volantes after the DB5: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_Chassis_Volante There's another DB4 listed as a Volante on this site, that must be incorrect.

rpcm 2007-08-19 22:57	I think "Convertible" should be added at least as extra info.
G-MANN 2007-08-19 22:59	But it's not really part of the official model name, anyway at the top of the picture it says Class: Cars, Convertible, so that should be enough.
