I measured mine on car and approx 54” front to back and 50” across widest part at rear window. Hope this helps.

I brought the top for my ‘66 home in the back of my new 2000 Grand Cherokee.

Don't remember the year of the event, but it was Bloomington Gold in Bloomington, Il. Had a friend with a C3, 69 I think, He bought a hard top and we put it in the trunk of my wife's 62 SS Impala and closed the lid.

Well, I can tell you the top for my 67 does not fit in the back of my 15 GC - at least not laying down flat. I might have been able to get it in there tilted on a diagonal but didn’t want to take a chance on scraping up the GC interior panels. I used a pickup truck instead - $19.95/day at U Haul.
