Thanks Jamo, I was referred to them before. Might wind up giving them a call before too long though.
Also, I live on the west coast--in Oregon--and prefer to try and find something closer.

1960fi, if I understand correctly your tops need various degrees of restoring??
I would prefer something fairly close to finished. Do you have any pics-- and some pricing would be good.
Thanks,
John

Hardtop Shops
Anyone looking for a Hardtop would be wise to contact Beth at Auto Entec. Their number is 888-340-7812, and they are also in Pennsylvania.
You will find them to be far more dependable and reputable than the "Other" more widely advertised Hardtop shop.
Not just an opinion, but spoken from several experiences.

Torvetts and Prestige6, thanks for the insight.
I travel to the east coast--NYC--every once in a while and it may come to making a side trip to Pennsylvania and have a look at their tops.
As you can see on my avatar I have the white ragtop, but always liked the look of a hardtop on these C1s. I know some think otherwise, but just my personal preferance.
Then... it will come down to Roman Red or White-- maybe I should get two.

I have a 59 Hardtop complete, but disassembled. Chrome and stainless is excellent needing polish, back window is toast, side windows cloudy, black liner, paint is stripped off turtle shell. Pickup only in west central Florida. $1,000.

Mike, I did get the pictures. Thanks.
If you were in the area I would probably come by and pick it up. However, Wisconsin is a long way to go this afternoon.
Not sure how to handle the logistics. Send me a private email and let's see what we can work out.

Still looking for a hardtop for my 1959.
Prefer not to do a lot of restoration--my knowledge is limited and shops around here are ??
I will be traveling to some west coast areas in the next few months so might be able to look at some in person. Following cities/counties would work-- Salt Lake City, Reno, Nevada, Las Vegas, Nevada, Orange County, California, Phoenix, Arizona. Northern California also a possibility.
As mentioned earlier, I would prefer Roman Red or White.
Thanks. And let's get rid of some of that cash I have before the wife finds out.
