Assume your speaking of fordor phaeton??
The company making them ….stopped.

Hershey??
You’ll have to know exactly what you’re looking for. There’s 100’s made like those (including T’, 28-29, others) and they won’t work..

As far as I know….and I’m pretty much up on it!!!
That’s the only set out there in retail existence.
Those were made by Ezra years ago and their successor quit making parts.
I’ve heard of getting some things by special orders out of them. Best bet there is Don Snyder. Not an easy beg as I hear!!For sure try Karl first!!!

Understood…find one to measure.. easier said than done. Never trust the label at a flea market. Know your item. Whatcha gonna do when none at Hershey? Never seen a set there but every year a snowflake…maybe 5 this year! If so buy them all!
Drawings hard to get as Archives are/were shut. Archive drawings can be drawings of each of the components. Too many similar. Maybe Brent Terry will comment as he’s dealt with that body before.
I’ve built 3 all with original top irons (major repairs to them)
except one and bought Ezra. They were good but not Henry out of the box.

I have to agree, Ive seen so many convertible tops at Hershey, that nobody knows what they fit.
same can be said about seats...........
always need to do your homework ad have the correct measurements with you.
