Roadster is the North American term ( spyder in England ) used for a 2-seater lightweight car without a permanent top. The term was also used for a light carriage, synonymous with "buggy". [4] Traditionally, roadster bodies were used on anything from a Ford Model T to a Cadillac V-16. It was a body style favored by those who preferred enjoyment to practicality.
