I'm not sure if lighter colored tops were offered for the standard roadster from Ford when they were new. My top is an old replacement top that I bought on ebay for less than three hundred dollars. A new one from LeBarron Bonny was over eighteen hundred dollares at the time. The bows are original and we think that the old canvas top gives her character. Here is a better view of the standard windshield when I was in the process of the fix up.
