There are lots of companies which specialize in converting 'plain' cars into convertibles. Since the movie is located in France it is more obvious that it is a converted car, rather than a US imported one, don't you think?

In France we have approximatelly 50 Alliances convertible on the road. Somes sedan and and Encore too. The model on Photo in a 1986 model maybe a DL (medium version).
