Not a flicker of interest from the Rookies in over a week.  So it's time for the Experts

Peugeot 402 Eclipse Décapotable (1935 or 1936, depend the source)

That's the car.  A point is on its way (My source says 1933 but it could just as well be 1935-36)

Ford USA probably thought they had invented the idea when they made the Fairlane Skyliner in 1957

Your source definitely is wrong, because the 402 model was introduced at the 1935 Paris Salon. Maybe your source confused it with the fact that Georges Paulin built his first retractable Eclipse convertible in 1933 (with participation of Darl'Mat and Pourtout), but that one was based on a Peugeot 301.
