    I see a chopped Carson style top with chopped windshield and posts for a 33/34 Ford roadster for sale over on the Ford Barn.

    I always liked the top on Leland's '50 Chev Convert. It was built by Winfield, after Leland bought it new in S.F. Notice the Ford W/S..... Done Chev 024.JPG

    Randomly came across this Rik Hoving rendering on the interwebs. Has this car ever been built? 0b0639b70eb41b23e01e84fcf6052cb1.jpg

    Might be a folding top but almost looks like a Carson top.

  12. 41 Chevy^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Yes it is cool. I wonder what happened to both those cars? Notice the 33/34 Roadster has the real wheel wells hogged out. Both cars have modifications that would be hard to undo.

  17. Is it not a removable top??
    I think even if it's not removable. Some of the guys with the removable Carson top either don't have a setup to leave it in the garage or just don't ever remove it.
    Either way cool Kustom there!

    Didn't"t all Muntz Jets come with a Carson top? I have never seen one with a folding top.

    I believe at least one example was known to have a folding top, but yes.
    This one is chopped.
