The Last Convertible(1979)

For five men and the woman they all loved, it was the ride of their lives.

The Last Convertible is a drama series that follows five Harvard roommates from the class of 1944 across three decades of American life. Centered on a green 1939 Packard convertible and the beautiful Radcliffe student Chris Farris, the story traces how friendship, ambition, and love shape these men as they navigate postwar prosperity, personal tragedy, and changing times. Based on Anton Myrer's sprawling 1978 novel, the series explores the bonds forged in youth and how they hold—or fracture—under the pressures of adulthood. A sweeping ensemble narrative that captures the era's optimism and its darker undercurrents, The Last Convertible examines what it means to grow up, grow apart, and remember who you once were.
