Re: Our first apartment.
Interesting era side curtains on that touring in the 2nd photo..
I didn’t realize they offered such visibility back then. Perhaps
‘Canadian sourced’ ?

Re: Our first apartment.
Sure looks like wood to me. Any guesses? Manif or home made?

#2 - “California Top” in common parlance - I’d guess “locally sourced” rather than manufactured. My question - how do you get in ?!?

Photo number three, same car, at the same location with the same Dodge Brothers car behind it is in Tom's "Stuck" thread. More people in this shot.

Re: Our first apartment.
It is my understanding that "California Tops" included a hard top shell and rigid back to emulate more of a closed car feel. So this looks to be more of a hybrid solution.Rich P.

As for getting in, you can see the front and back windowed panels are hinged right above the door hinges, with the hinges attached to the fixed boards that are at the windshield and rear top sockets. There is also a latch visible for the front window, that latch should go through the frame of the fixed center window so that the latch can be worked from inside or outside the car.
Keep crankin',
