Re: New Top for a 59

If what you're after is a factory concours 'judgeable' soft top, they were all vinyl plastic. There ARE other 3rd party sources who will supply replacement soft tops in different material (some MUCH more durable than the factory original), but don't expect them to judge well...

Al Knoch (a division of Crown) and Corvette America are two sources of supply for reproduction tops and different catalog houses source their offerings here/there (you have to ask to find out specifics). I think you'll find you'll be offered one of three choices: (1) no marks on rear window, (2) reproduction of original supplier's logo on rear window, (3) number two with the rear window date coded.

Items 1 and 2 sell for a few $$$ less and reflect some versions of service channel replacement tops from GM. Item 3 is what it takes to get maximum points during judging...
