Info on California top

Post by Dropacent » Mon Apr 25, 2022 4:43 pm

Looking for info on this wonderful original California top. In really great condition, I don’t think I’ve ever seen one in person. Belongs to a local friend and any help is appreciated, thanks!

Wow Tim!

That is really amazing to see! Thanks for sharing the pictures. Really interesting that it’s on a cutoff touring.

Nice find Dan. There is more info including a postcard and a pocket brochure by Gary in this AACA thread. About the 6th and 7th entries down.

This is really nice to see. Not trying to hijack the thread but thought the forum might be interested to see this one. 1918 Dodge with a Rex top made in Connersville,IN. Cut off tourer with the frame back half being a TT. Saved from a hoard.

Being as you have an original you might consider reproducing them.
