CLIENT OF THE MONTH

WE THINK YOU’RE AMAZING!

DENISE DOLEZAL

WE OUR CLIENTS!Based on the new Directed Health Measure from the Governor and guidance from the Nebraska Department of Education, area schools will begin to reopen in a few weeks…

Keep a sharp eye out for the little ones who are still thinking about summer -- they aren’t always easy to see! So we have to pay a little extra attention ourselves… And for many of the older ones, this will be their first time driving. The #1 cause of accidents by teenage drivers is distractions! Here are a few safe driving tips for teenage drivers:

1. Limit the number of passengers. The likelihood of an accident goes up significantly with every passenger in the vehicle.

2. Don’t talk or text on their cell phone while driving.

3. Don’t eat while driving.

4. Be sure to learn the radio and other vehicle controls.

5. Drive the speed limit!!

6. Don’t ignore vehicle warning signs, such as vibrations, warning lights, noises, etc.

7. Always have good visibility – keep the windows clean and clear of obstructions.

See You Soon! - Mark

THANKS FOR YOUR KIND WORDS! “Great communication! First rate work, friendly and caring people -

I’ll never go anywhere else.” – Peter Huestis, Bellevue

Over the years, convertibles have battled with reduced structural integrity and a lack of cargo space. Most convertibles utilize a textile-based, folding roof design. Some others include a retractable hardtop or detachable hardtop.

Most major manufacturers have offered convertibles as part of their major car lineup.

In the UK, a fully enclosed convertible that has two doors is called a drophead coupe. They also name the convertibles with four doors an all-weather tourer.

Most early cars came without sides or roofs, naturally making them open-air versions. Towards the end of the 19th-century, more powerful engines were placed in vehicles so folding leather or textile roofs started being used.

During the 1920s, automakers mass-produced steel-bodies so the closed models became accessible to buyers. U.S. manufacturers made many models throughout the 1950s into the 1960s. There were some compact-sized, budget-friendly options like the Studebaker Lark and the Rambler American. On the other end of the spectrum, there were also more expensive options such as the Chrysler Imperial, Oldsmobile 98, and Packard Caribbean.

In the 1970s, convertible popularity lessened as the travel speeds on major roads increased. As people drove the cabriolets faster, they found that the noise and wind became a nuisance at these speeds. There was also an increase in the proposed safety standard for the U.S. market at the time. With cars offering sunroofs and air conditioning, consumers began to move away from the convertible market.

While most manufacturers have produced their own version of a convertible, the most popular in the United States was the Mazda Miata, otherwise known as the MX-5 in other countries. It’s been in production since 1989 and Guinness Book of Records has confirmed it to be the bestselling two-seater, open-top convertible sports car in history.

Detachable HardtopThe detachable hardtop has been around since the 1950s. These roofs stow away in the car’s cargo space. When they’re in the car, they offer additional weatherproofing, durability, and soundproofing in comparison to the fabric tops. Some vehicles also come with glass rear windows and defrosters.

Retractable HardtopThe retractable hardtop design is otherwise known as a coupe cabriolet or coupe convertible. It’s a vehicle that features a self-storing hardtop that automatically opens. It operates like the textile version but offers a solid construction.
