Thumbs up NYIAS: Bentley Continental GT Convertible









Bentley Motors will host the East Side House Settlement Gala Preview of the 2006 New York International Auto Show on Thursday, April 13. This glamorous evening will celebrate the global launch of the new Bentley Continental GTC -- the long-awaited convertible version of the Continental GT coupe.

The gala will showcase A Convertible Chronology: The Finest Soft-Top Bentleys from the 1920s through Tomorrow and will include a private preview of the New York International Auto Show, a cocktail gala, and dinner. The evening's highlight will be a live auction of a Bentley Continental GTC -- the FIRST model to arrive in the US!



The event attracts a high profile crowd of investment bankers, Bentley owners and influential leaders in fashion, arts and society. All proceeds will benefit East Side House Settlement.

Any car that can make Leno look cool is a serious car.

I think they could of done better with the grill and head lights on the RR but I love car. The GT conv is to long to me I don't like it at all, I like the hard top much much better.

I think the RR vert would be even longer & bigger than the Bentley.
I would be happy to have either the Bentley coupe or convertible I saw at least a dozen GT coupes on the road in one weekend in LA last year & are quite impressed by them, those are the only times I see them in motion LOL, I' ve only seen them in the dealership & autoshow up here.
