Lucky,
I visit SC frequently as we have a factory there and would definitely have a convertible if I lived there, even if it was an older "classic". Driving from our plant near Charlotte to another one near Roanoke, VA I would love to rent a vert for that drive. Lovely. I'll get one this summer. Here in CT, the weather thus far in 2019 has been rubbish, but Wednesday was a prefect day (70F, Sunny) to take a test drive.
Regarding the length of the summer, your observation is correct, it is slightly longer, but we seem to get few "perfect" days for a nice convertible ride...
So many cars, so little time!
