'53 Convertible top latch
Could somebody post a picture of the top latch handle for a '53 Crestline convertible? I have what appears to be an all original '53 that doesn't seem to have any handle to release the top from the header. All I can see is what appears to be a piece of flat steel that presumeable the handle attaches to? I will try to get a photo of mine soon but the car is in storeage away from home at the moment. Thanks again for the your help

Re: '53 Convertible top latch
These are from my 53' Merc. I have to believe it is similar if not the same. Normally these are on e-bay for around $300. If you zoom in you can read the part number. If you want I can send you the originals, just PM me with your e-mail address or send me an e-mail: [email protected].
OK, so mine needed to be cleaned up anyway, so I took it off to give you a few better pictures by its self. Good luck and be careful, because they are made out of pot metal and break quite easily. Last edited by Merc Cruzer; 01-24-2019 at 06:37 PM. |

Re: '53 Convertible top latch
If you have access to one a 3D printer might be an alternative. I will let you know if I find others.
