Convertible CRX?

I was driving to work today and I saw a first gen CRX with a convertable top. I didn't know they made them in convertibles. Are there only a few of them?? Honda isn't known for its convertibles (besides the S2k)...just curious if anyone can give me some info on them.

It seems like if you modified a car like that it would have no torsional rigidity and you'd get some serious body flex. That second one looks really nice though.

It wasnt an actual produced Car from honda. THE TT CRX, if it existed was probably shipped to the dealer as a regular CRX and then sent out to a custom shop to make into a TT. It was not a factory option....and if it was, show me proof please...
