Hi all. I purchased this 59 coupe in boxes in 1997 although the frame and drivetrain were pretty much restored. However, it did not come with a roof and I think that the car was a hardtop only model since there was no evidence that the soft top latches had ever been installed. My question is can a soft top still be installed? Anybody shed some light on this?

Hello, this Help section is for Help with the CorvetteForum website (account issues, etc.,) and is not the place to post technical questions about Corvettes, or other questions not related to the website, as they will not be seen by other Corvette owners.

Instead, please find the correct section, based on the generation of the Corvette.


Go back to the main forum page:
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/

Now start to slowly scroll down until you see your generation of Corvette listed.

C1 or C2 (1953 - 1967)?:
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...2-corvettes-4/

We encourage new members to take some time to browse around the site and read the Announcements and Stickies as they contain important and frequently asked information.

Thank-you
