Those are just a couple takeaways from new iSeeCars data released Wednesday that tracked the best and worst paint colors for a car when it comes to their value and depreciation factors.

    First up is contributor John Pearley Huffman, who stretches the definition of “convertible” to its breaking point by picking a Meyers Manx. The crew points out that without a top, the Manx doesn’t fit the bill. Besides, he’s way over budget.

    Editorial director Joe Brown makes his Window Shop debut this week and puts up a rare convertible pickup for consideration. He claims
