A convertible automobile with a roof that can be lowered or dropped down; a soft-top car.
Compound from 'drop' (lower) plus 'head' (roof). This British term for convertible cars emphasizes the action of dropping the roof mechanism mechanically.
Drophead was the original term for convertible cars before Americans started calling them 'convertibles'—British automotive terminology is where so many driving terms like 'bonnet' and 'boot' come from!
