<div class="bbWrapper">I&#039;ve heard good things about a particular reproduction top. cost is about the same to have an original redone and from what I gather a bit easier to maneuver. If you search the posts for convertible top you will find a few discussions.</div>

I have had my bird 8 years and only put it up to look at its conditions, 35 years same from the guy I bought it from. It is a Southern Calif car so zero rust, I did see a small slit, but bet it could be repaired. I know they are hard to find and expensive, Prestige Thunder bird suggested that ask $4,000 OBO, they know the car as I bought it from one of their customers</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">There was a white soft top in Garden Grove on Ebay, , just sold for $4,800.00 a few minutes ago. I am going to take better photos of mine this weekend and put it on ebay also. Not sure what the differences are between 55-57 Just talked to Frank at Prestige , all years are interchangeable, the 57s had an additional support above the windows to prevent possible sagging Tom 818-426-4605</div>
