Matthew Perry came to recognition through his brilliant portrayal of the character of Chandler Bing in one of the most watched television shows on earth, Friends. He has Canadian-American ancestry and he is fairly successful in multiple professions. Matthew is notable as an actor, comedian, and producer but what intrigues us the most is his collection of automobiles. The fact that he is an avid collector of convertibles makes us love him more than his screen persona.

Matthew Perry is one of the most loved actors from the NBC show called Friends. He played the role of an awkward and sarcastic young guy who used humor as a defense mechanism in uncomfortable situations. The character was hailed by the fans of the show and it was found that many of his lines were improvised or written by Perry himself. It is only normal for the actor because he is also an excellent comedian. He received multiple awards like the Gold Derby Awards, the Huading Awards, the TV Guide Awards, and the most prestigious Screen Actors Guild Awards.

However, the actor beside his professional life is known for his love for exclusive cars. He has several cars in his garage which he often takes for rides but the ones he uses the most are his convertibles.
