Cruising with the top down this summer? While
you’re enjoying that breeze, just keep in mind that the design you love
today had some very cool beginnings. Back in 1988, Mazda engineer
Takaharu Kobayakawa showed up to his favorite ski resort in the RX-7
Convertible with its top down. Crazy, right? Surprisingly, no. We’d
call it smart. With its heater vents carefully aimed, this pivotal
moment led to his invention of the wind blocker.
The design has been imitated by almost all convertible manufacturers since.
