Default WTB '54 TOP and FRAME

Looking to buy for my 1954, a DRIVER QUALITY convertible top and frame, or just a complete convertible top frame. It doesn't need to be pretty just Complete and working.
Send me a PM. Thanks.

I don't think it matters, either should work right? It is car #3299 which puts it right at the change. I just want something that works.
The frame that is with the car is missing pieces, I wouldn't know what to look for or where to look.

It does matter. What type of trim does your car have right behind the top of the door? Is the trim the flipper style or not? Tops with flipper style trim will hit the later trim.

If you stick with the flippers, it is made for the early style frame.

The late style frame will clear the molding as stated.
