Default Open Car Top Availability

It’s time to put a new top on my Deluxe Roadster. Unfortunately, finding one is difficult at best. Everybody appears to have retired, or gone belly up. Who’s still making Model A tops? Any suggestions are sincerely appreciated.

Have you actually taken the time to search this, -or are you just asking randomly? The reason why I ask is there is quite a bit of information here and elsewhere about Classtique Upholstery still making/offering upholstery for Model-As, ...which included Tops & Curtains. The last I knew, he was making it in the correct material that Eric Haartz is manufacturing. Yes, there is a wait list, but it is available.

FYI, I talked and placed an order for a complete interior kit with Mike from classtique yesterday. I'm expected to have my kit done and ready to go on October 9th, 2024. You could be waiting a while, so I'd get on the list now, only going to grow. Unless top only kits are done faster?

I will be making another run of deluxe roadster top irons in the next 3-6 months.

I was trying to avoid a 12-month wait.

Unfortunately, since he's the only guy in the business, that's the norm now.
