'57 Weight of hard top

[dickday0]

Can anyone tell me the weight of the hard tops? I assume all 3 years used the same top.

Thanks

The fiberglass hardtop weighs 85 pounds and in 1956 the port holes were added.

Thank you! When we brought the car home, it had the top on it. We've never tried to take it off. I didn't know if my wife and I could lift it. I'd hate to get it half way over the trunk lid and realize we couldn't hold it up.

I'm 70 and she's weak as a kitten. Between the two of us, there's not a lot of lifting power

Thanks again.

CASCO and Councors parts sell a pulley lifting devise that works quite well, not that expensive.
