    Who is the best source for a correct 1958 Convertible Top - Blue

    Friend is looking to replace the top on his 1958 convertible. Car is silver blue with inca silver coves. Car has white top (not correct). Wants to put correct blue top with date codes etc. on this 58. Who is the best source these days for this type of top at the highest, most correct quality and fit?

    Thanks - Scott.

    I had heard Glassworks makes a very good one and restores old ones. But, I can't get their website, www.thehardtopshop.com to work, maybe it is down?

      Scott, if your friend is looking for a soft top try Al Knoch's Kennedy top. If hardtop go with Michael's suggestion. Steve

        I agree with Knoch's soft tops, guess I thought it was a hardtop you were looking for.

          Agree with Steve I had a white top on my SB/SB 58 & it fit like Sh*t. Got a blue top from Al. 2years later & it fit great & I love the color

            Al Knock makes most if not all soft-tops on the market today. You get one from Al and you know it will fit if your installer is any good.

              Funny though, folks are worried about dates etc., eventhough the original top was blue on the underside, and you will never find that material.
