The 'Flip top box" 

Also known as a retractable hardtop.  The roof power folded into the trunk area. I worked for a Chevrolet dealer in '59 and '60.  He had a beautiful '57  red and white retractable (used) in his showroom.  If I recall the price was $1695.00 or maybe $100.00 more.  In April of 1960, the Ford RH celebrated a one year anniversary, still sitting in the showroom. The price today some 48 years later--???  Probably a couple of bucks more.
